Bruce Hall, president and coo of SeaOne said: “SeaOne has been working with Sembcorp Marine management and engineers for a while now. We have found them to be a proactive company that listens to new ideas in the gas and liquids marine transportation business and provides constructive inputs on the design of the large CGL transportation vessels.”
The vessel’s are designed for SeaOne’s Caribbean Fuels Supply Project transporting cargoes to receiving terminals in the Caribbean, Central and South American regions, from a CGL production facility now under construction at the Port of Gulfport in Mississippi.
