Crowley Maritime have taken delivery of Louisiana, the third delivery out of four LNG-ready product tankers that the company has ordered.
The Louisiana and her sister ship are the first-ever tankers to receive the American Bureau of Shipping’s (ABS) LNG-Ready Level 1 approval. The approval allows Crowley to convert the tanker to liquefied natural gas (LNG) propulsion in the future.
The 50,000 DWT product tankers are based on a proven Hyundai Mipo Dockyards (HMD) design.
Crowley Maritime say that vessel incorporates numerous fuel efficiency features, flexible cargo capability and the latest regulatory requirements.
The Louisiana is 600 feet long and is capable of carrying crude oil or refined petroleum products, as well as various chemical cargoes.
The Jones Act product tankers have been built for the company by Philly Shipyard, Inc. (PSI), the sole operating subsidiary of Philly Shipyard ASA.
