New Ships for Kenai Trade - 1995<br />

• In 1995, the Kenai <strong>LNG</strong> project<br />

replaced the original Swedish<br />

built ships with two somewhat<br />

larger capacity ships, (89,880<br />

cubic meters) built by IHI in<br />

Japan.<br />

• The ships are steam turbine<br />

driven with and installed power<br />

<strong>of</strong> 21,000 h.p. giving a service<br />

speed <strong>of</strong> 18.5 knots<br />

• The ships, the Polar Eagle and<br />

Arctic Sun, are unique in that<br />

they employ free-standing<br />

prismatic cargo tanks - so far<br />

the only ships in service with<br />

this arrangement.
