TGE Marine has announced a cooperative agreement with RMK Marine for the construction of a new 7,800 cubic meter LNG bunker vessel, according to the company's release.
The project, initiated in the summer of 2024, will see TGE Marine supply its Type C Bi-lobe tanks, cargo handling, and fuel gas systems for the vessel named 'Celsius'.
The 'Celsius' vessel, intended for Sirius Shipping and Gasum, will service LNG-fueled vessels, providing efficient bunkering, gas freeing, and conditioning operations.
Jakob Nielsen, Sales Director at TGE Marine, added, "After a close to 10 years relationship with Sirius, it is great to now be involved in the vessel being built at RMK Marine... This will also play a very important part of the much-needed infrastructure for the rapid growing LNG fuelled shipping fleet in the Baltic Sea and Kattegat Sea.”
