(With video) 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.

Inland LNG Tanker

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).

Below a video about the new inland LNG tanker.
