Dick Eddy, a first mover in LNG shipping, has died aged 86.
Eddy was there at the very start of the industry as one of the engineering support team on board the vessel that shipped a historic first cargo from the US to the UK in 1959.
He became involved in the project when J J Henry, the naval architect company he was working for, took on the job of converting the cargoship Normarti into the world’s first LNG carrier — the 5,123-cbm Methane Pioneer.
