Canadian ferry and shipyard operator Seaspan is in the final stages of choosing a yard to build its planned LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV).

Seaspan Ferries' director for fleet engineering and vessel development, Harly Penner, said the 7,500-cbm vessel will be available for operation in the Port of Vancouver from 2023.

He told IQPC’s LNGBunkeringLive meeting that the vessel will also be available for coastal transportation of LNG.
