Worldwide spare parts deliveries for the ship department on time
The company has adhered to a hands- on strategy, based on the development of total projects from design to operation.
The strategy has, throughout the last 10 years, been implemented with a pro- gram of 20 newbuildings worth more than $1 billion.
Naturally, this hands-on approach puts the company in a position as a leading developer of advanced tech- nologies to enhance ship safety and efficiency, particularly evident in the area of gas ships. In 2001 Knutsen OAS
Shipping launched a new method for transporting gas at sea, the Pressurized
Natural Gas, or PNG Carrier.
Under development for three years now, an order for a PNG carrier is not yet signed, but progress is being made as the company is working with DNV for class approval, while simultaneous- ly conducting talks with yards and cus- tomers regarding a contract to build the innovative vessel.
The new system requires "top notch" pipeline welding and inspection tech- nology, and to this end the company has received unparalleled support from
EuroPipe in Germany with develop- ment of the containment system. While
Per Lothe, project director, Knutsen
OAS Shipping was loathe to share per ship pricing information, he did admit that the PNG carrier would cost more than an LNG carrier today or greater than $160 million. ^MOTOR-SERVICE AB
