GAS CARRIER CONVERSION
The Dutch shipping group Anthon Veder has awarded the contract for the conversion of their liquefied gas carrier CORAL ACTINIA to the Rotterdam based YVC Bolnes Dockyard. The vessel will be lengthened by 24m. An additional cargo tank with a volume of 1000 m3 will be installed. The conversion is considered a unique project as it is very rare that gas carriers are lengthened. Special procedures have been developed for the lengthening.
