A Shell-controlled LNG carrier has gone into a shipyard for planned modification work that will enable the ship to function as an LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV).

The Anthony Veder-owned, 7,500-cbm Coral Methane (built 2009) arrived at Remontowa Shiprepair Yard in Gdansk, Poland, at the end of last month.

The vessel has been working as a multipurpose small-scale LNG carrier for Gasnor, a subsidiary of energy major Shell.
