Lloyd’s List today reports on a new type of gas transportation vessel, developed by SeaOne Maritime, that proposes to deliver natural gas at lower costs than current LNG methods. “The production or conditioned gas is transported in ocean-going gas carriers in a liquefied form, termed compressed gas liquid,” SeaOne president Bruce Hall explained. The compressed gas liquid carrier (CGLC) could transport multiple types of gas under pressure and at minus 40°F/C, including those currently transported as LNG and LPG, and “has onboard production gas conditioning and processing, liquefied gas storage and sales gas fractionation,” ABS project manager Philip Rynn said.
