2024年7月31日,佛罗里达杰克逊维尔——长航线(Jones Act)兼容的Progress液化天然气(LNG)加油驳船竣工交付给克劳利。这是美国最大的同类液化天然气加油驳船,由Fincantieri海湾造船厂在威斯康星州斯特金贝完成建造。
The Progress will expand access to cleaner energy for ship operators at the Port of Savannah, Georgia. Shell NA LNG, LLC, (Shell) signed a long-term agreement with Crowley to operate the barge, providing another fueling location to ships using liquefied natural gas.
该驳船将扩大乔治亚州萨凡纳港口的船运商使用更清洁能源的港口资源。壳牌北美液化天然气有限责任公司(Shell)与克劳利签署了长期合同,运营该驳船,为使用液化天然气的船舶提供另一处加油地点。
"The Progress LNG bunker barge sets a new standard for quality and capability to serve the energy needs of the shipping industry," said James C. Fowler, senior vice president and general manager, Crowley Shipping. "LNG offers a safe and reliable solution for ocean carriers that advances the transition to lower emissions. We congratulate the people whose dedication and hard work in designing and building this world-class vessel allowed us to reach this milestone for the U.S. industry and our customers."
克劳利航运的高级副总裁及总经理詹姆斯·C·福勒(James C. Fowler)表示:“Progress液化天然气加油驳船树立了一项针对船舶行业的质量与能力的新标准。液化天然气为海运公司提供了一种安全且可靠的低碳排放解决方案,推动了向更低排放过渡。我们向那些在设计和建造这艘世界级船舶中耗费努力和心血的人们表示祝贺,他们让我们为美国的行业和客户达成了这一里程碑。”
Designed by Crowley's engineering services group, the 416-foot-long barge has a capacity of 12,000 m3 (3.17 million gallons) and features a transformative design, enabling efficient and dependable supply of LNG to fuel ships. Progress' technologies include capability developed by Shell and Crowley's engineering services group to flexibly deliver LNG to various types of LNG containment systems.
