We support LNG carrier projects from the first introduction through to the delivery of the vessel. Choose the view that fits you to see how we can help.
We introduce shipyards to newbuilding opportunities, help secure the shipbuilding contract, and stay involved until the vessel is delivered.
We connect shipyards with suitable newbuilding projects and work to bring each shipbuilding contract through to signature. During negotiations, we give practical advice on the points that matter most to the final agreement.
Once the contract is under way, we stay close to the project. Our support covers the market, your partners, the technical work, and the contract itself.
Keeping you informed about the market your project competes in.
Finding the right partners, and checking them before you commit.
Keeping the technical side of the project moving.
Watching over the contract, and the people behind it.
From signing to handover, we do everything we reasonably can to keep the contract running smoothly and to bring the vessel to a successful delivery.
Terms agreed and the shipbuilding contract executed.
Technical reviews, progress tracking, and payment milestones.
Gas trials and sea trials ahead of handover.
The vessel is handed over to the shipowner.
No two projects are alike. Where you need support beyond what is listed here, we are happy to help.
We help shipowners with two kinds of LNG project: building a new vessel, and retrofitting an older one. Each is set out separately below.
For owners investing in new tonnage, we advise from the first specification through to delivery, and stay available once the ship is in service.
We help define the technical specification, including cargo capacity, containment system, propulsion, and the trading pattern the ship is built for.
We recommend suitable shipyards and design institutes, review their capability and standing, and help compare bids on price, delivery slot, and technical fit.
We advise on the technical specifications, contract pricing, securities, negotiation strategy, delivery terms, and other commercial and technical terms.
We take part in technical reviews at key milestones, track progress, quality, and payment stages, and raise risks early with suggested next steps.
We stay involved through gas trials, sea trials, and handover, and remain available after the ship enters service.
We help owners explore suitable financial solutions for their newbuilding project.
Current views on newbuilding prices, yard capacity, and regulation to support your decisions.
Many older LNG carriers are still structurally sound, but they are falling behind on fuel efficiency and emissions rules. We help owners decide what is worth doing, and then help get it done.
Steam turbine LNG carriers use a great deal of fuel, and the market is steadily phasing them out. By converting them to a combined electric propulsion system, we help owners turn these vessels back into marketable assets.
The total investment is about one third of what alternative solutions require.
Operating expenses after the retrofit are significantly lower than with other propulsion systems.
A more efficient ship supports stable execution of the time charter party (TCP).
Reusing a sound hull reduces wasted investment and lowers the ship's carbon footprint.
We bring together the resources and services a retrofit needs, so the work is coordinated from start to finish.
We help owners arrange suitable financial solutions for their retrofit project.
