Svitzer to provide towage service to Philippines LNG terminal

Denmark’s Svitzer has signed a 10-year time charter with Philippines’ Fgen LNG to provide towage and other vessel support services at the latter’s offshore LNG terminal, it said on July 15.

Svitzer will provide four new 75 metric ton bollard pull tugboats to assist the FSRU and LNG carriers that will deliver LNG to the terminal, for berthing, un-berthing, and navigation assistance. It will also provide other services including fire-fighting, pollution control, port and vessel security services, pilot and boarding party transfer, and fender management.
