LNG bunker ship 'Engie Zeebrugge' visits Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen for maintenance work
Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen recently completed a maintenance programme on Belgian LNG bunker vessel Engie Zeebrugge.
“It was an interesting project with an extensive scope,” says Jim Bernaerts, Damen project manager, who led the project together with Wim van de Velde. “All the departments of Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen were closely involved, and there were many jobs that were outsourced to subcontractors. The project was therefore a major organisational challenge, and it was exciting to see all the puzzle pieces finally fall into place.”
LOOKING FORWARD
Engie Zeebrugge was the first LNG bunker ship in the world and is now less than three years old. The ship mainly operates in the port of Zeebrugge, loading LNG as propulsion fuel onto other vessels. “More and more ships are being equipped with engines that can run on LNG,” Jim says. “It’s a clean, safe and low-emission type of fuel.”
Engie Zeebrugge was at Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen until 7 October 2019 and was kept in the covered dock during the work. Following the success of this project, Damen is hopeful for more of this type of work in the future. “We are very happy to be of added value to this high-end niche in the shipping industry,” says Jim. “It was a true pleasure to work with such professional people, and we send a special thanks to all involved.”
