Russia will see its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering vessel built by the end of 2019, says the vessel’s ship designer Krylov State Research Centre (KSRC) as reported by local media IAA PortNews.
The newbuilding is being built at the Onega Shipyard under a project by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and will be equipped with LNG storage tanks with capacity of 160 cubic meters each, said Anton Lutskevich.
