The Harvey Liberty will join other ships which are chartered from Harvey Gulf International Marine, the Harvey Energy and Harvey Power, to support Shell\u2019s deep-water operations in the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n
Tahir Faruqui, Shell\u2019s general manager of LNG North America, said: \u201cThis is an important milestone for Shell and Harvey Gulf.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Harvey Liberty highlights our efforts to grow LNG as a fuel in the transport sector, and is a welcome addition to our portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n
Running on 99% LNG fuel, the Harvey Liberty, can operate for up to 15 days before refuelling.<\/p>\n
The LNG powered vessels provide owners with an alternative fuel to meet sulphur and nitrogen oxide emissions regulations in the North American Emission Control Areas (ECA).<\/p>\n
\u201cHarvey Gulf is excited to share these historical maritime events with Shell. This represents another significant step in the path for Harvey Gulf to establish itself as a leader in utilising LNG as a marine fuel.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Harvey Liberty is 302ft long and operates on three dual-fuel W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 engines. It will load from Harvey Gulf\u2019s new LNG bunkering facility in Port Fourchon, Louisiana where it will support Shell\u2019s platform in the Gulf of Mexico, transporting supplies, equipment and drilling fluids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
