A first LNG ship-to-ship transfer has been carried out in South Korea in a test operation for a newbuilding under construction at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering's Okpo shipyard.
State-controlled gas importer Korea Gas (Kogas) said the 7,500-cbm SM Jeju LNG2 arrived at DSME's yard on 24 November with a cargo of LNG loaded at the Tongyeong LNG terminal.
LNG was transferred from the small-scale vessel onto the 174,000-cbm newbuilding Global Star, which is being built for Global Shipping Co — the Nakilat and Maran Gas Maritime joint venture.
