SPIRIT OF HELA LNG tanker

Post by aukepalmhof » Tue Jan 27, 2015 4:06 am

The ship serves on the ExxonMobil-led PNG LNG Project, Papua New Guinea’s first project to liquefy and export natural gas. On May 25, 2014, the vessel loaded the first LNG cargo at a terminal near the capital city Port Moresby, then departed for the Futtsu Terminal of Tokyo Electric Power Company. The cargo was discharged safely the next month.

The SPIRIT OF HELA will support Papua New Guinea’s move into the LNG export market for many years. The introduction of postage stamps featuring the ship clearly reflects the national importance of this project.
