Contract Signed for LNG

Powered Ship

Statoil has awarded Eidesvik Shipping AS the contract for the delivery of a supply ship fuelled by liquefied nat- ural gas (LNG). This is a Vik Sandvik 493 LNG-Avant ship of the same design as Viking Avant, which is already chartered by Statoil. The new ship is planned to transport supplies from Kristiansund to the

Halten/Nordland area. "Statoil has two LNG-fuelled ships under existing contracts. They have performed to our full satisfaction, not least in terms of the envi- ronment. LNG-fuelled ships emit considerably less NOx and carbon dioxide than conventional diesel-powered ships," said Anne Therese Hestenes, senior vice presi- dent, operations support, in the Exploration &

Production Norway business area. The emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) are expected to be cut by almost 90 percent, which represents 160 tons per year. This corresponds to the annual NOx emissions from 20,000 cars. The carbon emissions will be reduced by approx- imately 20 percent. The supply ship, which is under construction at the Westcon shipyard at Ølen in south- western Norway, is scheduled to be delivered in the autumn of 2007. Another ship will be used during the construction of the LNG-fuelled ship.
