LEHNKERING<br />
on course for growth<br />
The first half-year 2010 was viewed with optimism<br />
at LEHNKERING. Its Vision 2013 sees the firm<br />
emphasizing growth through investment.<br />
Two new gas-tanker ships, the replacement of 217<br />
trucks and more than 200 canvas-covered trailers and<br />
high growth rates, all indicate that LEHNKERING is<br />
expecting its order-books to continue to grow.<br />
It will be 95 metres long and 11.45 metres wide, the<br />
latest ship in our company’s fleet of gas tankers.<br />
On 23 April 2010 LEHNKERING commissioned the Dutch<br />
shipyard TeamCo SHIPYARD BV to build the new gas tanker,<br />
the same yard that built the LRG GAS 87, which was put into<br />
service in 2009. As with the LRG GAS 85, 86 and 87, once<br />
again BUREAU VERITAS has been commissioned as the<br />
ship-classification bureau.<br />
In all, the LRG GAS 88 will be the seventeenth ship in the<br />
LEHNKERING fleet of inland-navigation vessels. It will<br />
take about 14 months to build. Two modern 634 KW<br />
engines with economical fuel consumption will<br />
drive the new vessel. The gas tanker’s area of<br />
deployment will be the European waterways<br />
and canals.
