US-listed LPG carrier owner Navigator Holdings is offering training to Stena seafarers to prepare them for LNG-fuelled ferry operations.

The London-based company said crew members from the Swedish group's ship-management arm Northern Marine Group (NMG) are being welcomed on board the 37,500-cbm ethylene-capable Navigator Aurora (built 2016).

The idea is to prepare ferry officers to operate gas-fuelled vessels of the future and allow them to gain the relevant certification.
