Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore has overseen delivery of the third and final 7,600m3 LNG bunkering vessel, S1067, to Seaspan group bunkering subsidiary, Seaspan Energy. Built by Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering Co Ltd, (CIMC SOE), the vessel has twin Type-C cargo tanks and is designed for dual-fuel operation.

The S1067 has two azimuth thrusters for main propulsion, dual compressor systems for boil-off gas handling, a sub-cooler unit to maintain tank pressure, and three manifold stations for flexible operation during bunkering procedures.

The classification society’s Alex Gregg-Smith, senior vice president Asia Pacific, commented: “We’ve had a long-standing partnership with CIMC SOE, known for their innovation in specialised shipbuilding, including cargo tanks, topside modules and small-scale liquefied gas carriers. This final delivery of three 7,600m³ LNG bunkering vessels is a great example of our shared dedication to driving sustainability and supporting the decarbonisation of the maritime sector.”

CIMC SOE deputy general manager of the Shipbuilding Division, Shen Lintao, said: “After numerous meticulous adjustments and strict inspections, the S1067 is the fruit of the close cooperation and joint efforts of the company and its partners. Since the launching ceremony on July 1st, all team members have painstakingly refined and worked tirelessly, demonstrating CIMC SOE's outstanding technical strength and innovation capabilities, as well as the spirit of cooperation.”
Harly Penner, Seaspan Energy president, thanked all those involved in the three-ship building programme. He emphasised the importance of the relationship that has developed between his company and the CIMC SOE team. 

Meanwhile, BV has worked closely with the Chinese shipbuilder on a range of projects including three 16,500m3 LPG carriers and six 27,500m3 dual-fuel LNG carriers. The classification society will work with CIMC SOE on future projects including two 12,500m3 LNG bunkering ships, two 24,000m3 liquefied ethylene carriers, and platform supply ships.
