Cargo tanks have been fitted to a 4,000-cbm LNG bunker barge newbuilding in the US that was contracted against a time charter with Shell.
Images seen by TradeWinds show the four 1,000-cbm tanks provided by Wartsila being fitted into the barge, which is under construction at VT Halter Marine in Pascagoula, Jackson County, Mississippi.
Shell Trading (US) agreed a long-term charter with Quality Liquefied Natural Gas Transport (Q-LNG Transport) on the oceangoing vessel in late 2017.
