Braemar oversees Nigerian LNG build

Steel cutting on the first of the project’s LNG carriers took place in April at Samsung’s Geoje shipyard in South Korea. Four of the vessels are being built by Samsung and two by Hyundai.

Geoff Green, CEO, Braemar Engineering, said:“This project is the fusion of Braemar Engineering’s expertise in the LNG sector with Nigeria LNG’s core values of integrity, teamwork, excellence and caring for people, to create a long term partnership offering benefits to both the industry and to the Nigerian community.”

“The future of our industry depends on the quality of the people working within it, and we are committed to developing the skills of young talented individuals who will become the next generation of marine engineering specialists,” he added.

This consultancy project sees a partnership approach within the field of carrier design, construction and operation. Seven trainees from Nigeria were employed by Braemar Engineering earlier this year to take part in the programme.

Reporting to the new Project Liaison officer, the graduates work both in Braemar’s head office and in various site positions developing their specialist knowledge.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2016.
