ATLANTIC LNG PROJECT - PLANT CONSTRUCTION

In 1997 and early 1998, Crowley transported over 24,000 tons of cargo from the US Gulf to Trinidad in connection with the Atlantic LNG project development at Point Fortin, Trinidad. Crowley utilized two tugs and two barges in continuous service on a dedicated basis. Because of significant restrictions in draft and maneuvering space in the harbor at the Atlantic LNG site, timing and co-ordination of vessel and cargo operations were critical aspects to this project. In addition to transportation, Crowley worked closely with the customer to schedule delivery of shipments, provided technical support for sea fastenings and loading operations and coordinated vessel movements in the restricted port of Point Fortin.
