Damen Shipyards Brest Receives Third LNG Carrier

With the arrival of the LNG carrier ARCTIC SPIRIT Damen Shiprepair Brest continues to recover market share in the LNG repair business, following Damen Shipyards’ acquisition of French shipyard Sobrena just under a year ago.

Damen Shipyards acquired Sobrena, which is particularly well respected for its LNG expertise, in April 2012.

Early February the Teekay owned and managed ARCTIC SPIRIT, which has a capacity of 89,880 cu m, arrived in Brest and is due to stay for approximately three weeks. The vessel is one of the few LNG carriers with an IHI SPB Prismatic Cargo Containment System, which makes it a somewhat special and highly complex vessel.
