LNG Ocean Shipping - The Start • Continental chose to continue the LNG operation and found that gas could be liquefied on the Gulf coast, transported to the east Coast by water, vaporized and put into the gas mains competitively with pipelining. • In the late 1950’s an opportunity to sell LNG to the UK developed and Constock aligned itself with the British Gas Council to develop the world’s first ocean shipping system for LNG
M.V. Methane Pioneer - 1959 • On January 25 th 1959, the MV Methane Pioneer left the Calcasieu River on the Louisiana Gulf coast with the world’s first ocean cargo of LNG and sailed to the UK where the LNG was delivered • In 1968 the Methane Pioneer became the first LNG ship to import cargoes into the US, when its cargo was offloaded in Boston Harbor into LNG trucks positioned on a barge. • The Methane Pioneer became the first LNG ship to be diesel powered and the first to offload at sea – innovations which we will see are of current interest.
