Case study

LNG vessel fleet

Context

A technical superintendent wanted one consistent, engineered standard across an LNG fleet, replacing improvised protection.

Approach

Introduced as a service, starting with a lead vessel to prove the fit and gather crew feedback.

Deployment

Delivered and installed by the onboard crew, with no specialist support.

Operational notes

Mooring chocks presented some alignment constraints; feedback went into design improvements.

Outcome

Now deployed across the managed fleet, with adoption encouraged on partner and chartered vessels.

Evidence

About one hour to rig the poop deck at first fit. After that the barriers stay in place through berthing and cargo operations, with around 10 minutes' preparation before each transit.

“The barriers are lightweight, robust, and well designed for their intended purpose.”Crew feedback
