KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 -- Kanfer Shipping AS (Kanfer), the Norway-based shipping company has entered into an exclusive agreement with CGR Arctic Marine (CGR), the Norwegian LNG technology company to develop cost-saving LNG bunkering vessels.
Under the licensing and development agreement, Kanfer will exclusively market CGR’s unique Liquid Methane Bunkering Vessel (LMBV) and other technologies to customers in the global LNG bunkering industry, including shipping lines, port owners, traders and fuel companies.
According to a statement, CGR will also apply its advanced technology to Kanfer’s patented Detachable Stern Vessel©, an advanced version of the Articulated Tug Barge that makes break-bulking cargoes of LNG easier, faster and more efficient.
The LMBV is a first for the industry with a plug-in hybrid power system consisting of a modular battery system in combination with pure gas generators.
It is a highly efficient solution that features a single tank and less cargo containment equipment.
This combination improves hull utilisation, reduces weight and maximises insulation surface area.
Another feature of the LMBV is the onboard multi-purpose cargo handling plant, combining cooling, reliquefication and gas recovery operations, allowing safe and pollution-free cargo handling during loading, discharge and gas freeing operations.
“We are bringing CGR’s patented technologies and Kanfer’s LNG marine expertise and capabilities under one roof. Together, we bring to our customers best-in-class designs that reduce complexity, improve operational efficiencies and maximise savings compared with existing solutions,” said Kanfer Shipping Managing Partner, Stig Anders Hagen.
