Six newbuild LNG tankers were recently delivered to BP Shipping under a US$1.3 billion shipbuilding contract.
Delivered to BP Shipping were the 295- by 46-metre Partnership-class vessels British Sponsor (pictured), British Achiever, British Contributor, British Listener, British Mentor, and British Partner.
Each tanker can carry a cargo of LNG equivalent in volume to 69 Olympic-sized swimming pools, BP said in a statement.
