Two leading players in inland shipping have joined forces and combined their experiences to develop the small scale LNG market under the name Veka Deen LNG. This collaboration is a leap forward in the realisation of an inland LNG transport corridor and facilitates LNG bunkering.
During the second day of the 'Construction & Shipping Industry' trade fair in Gorinchem the two inland shipping companies have signed a collaboration agreement and revealed the first product of their collaboration, an innovative ship design for the first inland LNG carrier. This new tanker has a length of 90 meters and will be able to transport 2250 cubic meters of LNG.
Veka was the first Holland based shipyard to deliver a seagoing LNG carrier with LNG propulsion (Pioneer Knutsen). Deen Shipping has developed, and operates the world's first LNG propelled inland tanker (Argonon).
