Teekay has opened up to the wider industry about its experience of successfully refloating a laden LNG carrier following a potentially dangerous grounding incident three years ago.
Teekay Gas Services director for commercial and marine operations, Andrew Roberts, told the LNG Emergency Ship-to-Ship Forum that the 165,500-cbm Magellan Spirit (built 2009) grounded as a result of navigational error on 5 January 2015 as it was leaving Nigeria LNG’s Bonny Island terminal.
