Chevron announces lower carbon LNG fleet modification project with Sembcorp Marine

Chevron has tasked Singapore’s Sembcorp Marine with a contract to reduce the carbon intensity of the oil major’s LNG fleet operations.

Under the agreement, new technologies including reliquefication systems, hull air lubrication, and gas compressors will be installed on Chevron’s LNG fleet. Together, these changes are expected to reduce cargo boil-off, lower fuel consumption, and increase volumes of cargo delivered.

Mark Ross, president of Chevron Shipping Company, commented: “We believe LNG will be a key component of the global energy transition for years to come, and Chevron is focused on continuing its disciplined capital investment in our LNG fleet.”
