GDF Suez Neptune |
GDF Suez Cape Ann |
Höegh LNG and its partner MOL ordered two SRV's at Samsung Heavy Industries in Korea specifically for this project. These vessels are the most advanced of its kind, and are able to meet the most stringent environmental conditions in the world for the emissions during operations at DWP. In addition, the vessel received the "Green Passport" from Det Norske Veritas (DNV) certifying the environmental considerations taken when constructing, operating and ultimately disposing of the vessel.
The first vessel "GDF Suez Neptune", was delivered November 30, 2009 and the second vessel "GDF Suez Cape Ann", was delivered June 1, 2010.
The vessels incorporate the reinforced GTT MKIII cargo contaiment system with 145,000 cubic meters of cargo carrying-capacity at 100% volumes. They are fitted with three state-of-the-art regasification skids for a total output capacity of approximately 21 million standard cubic meters of natural gas per day (**), and are also fully capable of operating as standard LNG carriers.
