Seatrium, previously known as Sembcorp Marine and renamed as Seatrium following its merger with Keppel Offshore & Marine, announced the delivery of the 2015-built 160,000-cbm, Asia Endeavour, in a social media post on Tuesday.
This is the last vessel as part of a turnkey EPIC lower carbon LNG fleet upgrade for Chevron, it said.
Seatirum completed the first upgrade on the 2014-built 160,000-cbm, Asia Vision, in December last year.
“Over 700 Seatrium staff came together to deliver this project safely and on time, contributing to more than 1.8 million man-hours without lost-time injury (LTI) across Chevron’s four-vessel project – Asia Vision, Asia Energy, Asia Excellence, and now Asia Endeavour,” Seatrium said.
In 2023, Chevron’s shipping unit contracted the group to install reliquefaction systems and other tech on its four LNG carriers.
US energy giant Chevron aims to lower the carbon footprint of LNG transportation by installing new technologies.
These include a reliquefication system, hull air lubrication, as well as upgrading to a new 4-stage gas compressor.
Together, Chevron expects these changes to reduce cargo boil-off, lower fuel consumption, and increase volumes of cargo delivered.
