ABS to Class First Conversion of a Compressed Gas Liquid Carrier from a Suezmax Oil Carrier

SeaOne Maritime Corp. is calling upon the extensive marine gas handling and transportation experience of class society ABS to class and certify the proposed conversion of several existing 150,000 dwt. suezmax oil tankers to Compressed Gas Liquid Carriers (CGLCs).

According to ABS Project Manager Philip Rynn, this is unique for industry as the gas processing system and the cargo containment system are both proprietary SeaOne Maritime Corp. technologies that have never before been applied to a marine vessel.
