Exmar completes first LNG STS

Exmar, the Belgian gas tanker operator with a diversified fleet of 50 ships, has successfully carried out the first commercial ship-to-ship (STS) transfer of LNG. A total of 20,650m³ of LNG was successfully transferred from the LNGRV Excelsior (130,800m³ built 2005) to Excalibur (138,000m³ built 2002) in in the Gulf of Mexico. As a result of this milestone in the LNG industry, the operational flexibility of the regasification vessels it operates together with Excelerate Energy will be greatly enhanced.
