The new LNG carriers will bring shale gas from the U.S. to South Korea

South Korea's Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) has chosen suppliers to build six new Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers, with energy efficiency an important factor, World Maritime News reports.

Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) will build four 174,000 cubic metre capacity, energy-efficient LNG carriers, with Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) selected to build two.

Once delivered, Korea Line Corporation, Hyundai LNG Shipping, and SK Shipping will manage two vessels each, which are intended to be used to transport shale gas from the U.S. to Korea from 2017.

DSME said its vessels will use an energy saving Partial Re-liquefaction System (PRS) systems, allowing boil-off gas to be used as fuel, removing the need for additional reliquefaction equipment.

“

PRS uses vaporised cargo LNG as a refrigerant, avoiding the need for additional refrigeration systems or power sources

La sociedad del naval puede avalar operaciones por más de 250 millones de euros

M.GIMENO    

Vigo.En medio de la sequía financiera que asola a los astilleros privados, la Sociedad de Pequeños y Medianos Astilleros en Reconversión, Pymar, selló ayer con el banco Sabadell Gallego un acuerdo por el que la construcción naval dispondrá de una línea de 100 millones de euros para cerrar nuevas operaciones. Se trata de propiciar el despegue de un sector todavía afectado por un sistema de bonificación fiscal, o tax lease, que no ha ganado la confianza de los armadores, explican desde Pymar.

Los firmantes del acuerdo afirman que éste "agilizará de una forma fiable" el acceso de los astilleros a la financiación y garantías para la construcción y reparación de buques. La línea, destinada a otorgar garantías de devolución, así como de financiación, cuenta con la garantía del Fondo de Garantías Navales despositado en Pymaval Garantías.
