The LNG tank transport for the fifth Icon-class vessel started on May 14, as the LNG tanks designed and manufactured in Finland departed from Teuva towards the port of Kaskinen and onward to the Crist shipyard in Poland. 🚢
The C-type bilobe LNG tank manufactured by West Welding is approximately 27 meters long, 15 meters wide and 14 meters high, weighing around 300 tonnes. The total transport weight is about 500 tonnes. The transport proceeded on schedule, and the tank continued by sea to Poland, where it will be installed in the floating engine room unit (FERU) of Icon 5. ⚓
🗨️ “The transport had been planned for about a year by a professional team, and the route was prepared with several necessary modifications, such as drive-over traffic islands, removable signs and light poles, and widened intersections. We are very satisfied with the quality of the tanks, and overall the transport stayed on schedule and was highly successful,” says FERU project manager Marja Aartovaara.
