Seatrium renews FCC with GasLog LNG and STASCO for five years

The contract involves the repairs, refurbishment, and upgrading of the two entities’ combined fleet of 43 LNG carriers docking in South East Asia to Seatrium Repairs and Upgrades, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group. It also supports joint planning, information and experience sharing, leveraging complementary resources of the Group to achieve sustainable targets in health, safety, environment, quality, cost efficiency, and timely deliveries.

''We are delighted to renew our FCC for another five years. We have enjoyed many years of partnership to refit the majority of our fleet here and trusted Seatrium in the conversion of our Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU). The recent tender we jointly ran with STASCO indicates that Seatrium remains a competitive shipyard offering high quality services. This aligns with our strategic direction of optimising costs and leveraging our competitiveness. We look forward to strengthening our relationship as we work towards safe, timely, and on-budget deliveries for the conversions, repairs and upgrades of our LNG carriers,” said Kostas Karathanos, Chief Operating Officer of GasLog LNG Services.

“We are honoured and delighted to have our exclusive partnership agreement renewed with both GasLog and STASCO. Partnering with world-class vessel owners increases our market share of LNG repairs and upgrades and enhances our capabilities as a world-class shipyard group. The selection of Seatrium as the LNG refit partner in Singapore is a major boost to Singapore’s status as a major global hub. We thank both GasLog and STASCO for their trust in us and we are confident that our long-term partnership will deliver mutual benefits and continuous improvements to all partners involved,” added Alvin Gan, Executive Vice President, Repairs and Upgrades, Seatrium

Seatrium is the world’s leader for the repairs, upgrades and conversion of LNG carriers, holding an extensive track record of 11 Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) conversions since 2007. FSRU conversions are highly complex processes that involve extensive modifications to the vessel’s structure, systems, and equipment. In addition, Seatrium converted the world’s first Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG), Golar Hili, in 2017. The Group has established a strong presence in the growing LNG market, which is expected to continue to expand in the coming years.
