Espoo, Finland, headquartered Gasum has actually noted one more LNG bunkering turning point, refueling Heerema Marine Contractors’ Sleipnir, the biggest semi-submersible crane vessel worldwide with a training ability of 20,000 tonnes.
The bunkering occurred last month in Åmøyfjorden, Norway, and also was obviously rather a stretch.
“The bunkering operation was swift and efficient, saving valuable time and allowing Sleipnir to start her work quickly. We are extremely proud of our well-equipped bunker fleet. It is now possible to offer a large degree of flexibility to our customers. The bunkering of Heerema’s Sleipnir is a good example. Our bunker vessel Kairos was the only vessel able to bunker Sleipnir in her current state. To reach the fuel tank we needed to lift the bunker hose more than 28 meters above sea level,” states Gasum’s Jacob Granqvist, Sales Director for Maritime.
Gasum’s fleet consists of 5 LNG supply vessels: Coralius, Kairos, Coral Energy, Coral EnergICE and alsoSeagas All the vessels can be made use of for bunkering procedures.
The Gasum Group has around 350 workers in Finland, Norway and alsoSweden It is had by the State of Finland.
