Keppel O&M delivers second newbuild LNG carrier

It is designed to support small-scale LNG distribution and bunkering.

Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M) has delivered its second newbuild liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier, the Avenir Accolade, to its owner, a subsidiary of Avenir LNG.

Avenir Accolade is designed to support small-scale LNG distribution and bunkering. It will be chartered to LNG Power Limited, a subsidiary of Hygo Energy Transition, and be used to deliver LNG to various ports across Brazil.

Similar to the first vessel delivered to Avenir LNG, the 7,500-cubic metre LNG carrier was built at Keppel Nantong Shipyard in China, and is equipped with engines that can run on both diesel and LNG. It can also function as an LNG bunkering vessel (LBV), making it the third LBV that Keppel has delivered.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
