ThisTimeNextYeer ref 16.44 post As you say a fantastic new customer I wonder if INFA can get the contract to do the regular dry dockings for those.
Hi folks. Re Dorset Spirit. This vessel isn't owned by Teekay but by a company called Altera infrastructure. www.alterainfra.com .This company was once part of Teekay but is now a separate entity from them.
They own and operate 25+ tankers (some massive ones too) as well as other vessels and tugs.
Have a look at their website and the fleet they have. This is a fantastic new customer particularly with the size and tonnage of some of the vessels they operate.

Chitta123 ref 16.15 post I am not sure as I have not been involved in the company that long but I think it is likely to be a few years.
Stokey.question how long do we assume it will take for the gas caverns to be available for storage .assuming they start this year.
Chitta123 ref 09.15 post I have just checked the original LinkedIn post that first suggested that the Dorset Spirit was on route to Belfast. The Dorset Spirit was not mentioned by name but ThisTimeNextYeer was able to identify it. The post said it was under tow for repair. While in principle the suggestion that a ship could be converted for storage of LNG cannot be discounted I do not think that this is the case in relation to Dorset Spirit. While it is strange that it is making the journey across the Atlantic from Canada to Belfast as it is only three years old I would be surprised if it is for a conversion to be used for LNG storage.
Not a certainty but it fits with my thoughts all along.Before the last board of directors were voted out a plan will have been put in place in my opinion and the gas caverns will have been dependant on amongst other things a gas supply deal to the UK .The ship building aspect will have been planned with the monetising of the island magee gas project and the funding coming from that project .ie a majority stake taken by someone/group..All planned and probably government had a large say in it and hence why the large bonus,s to Mr wood et al.The sp has been walked down purposely and is still being tightly held .Killik buys a stake usually for other parties so it may well be that the other party is the large stakeholder ready to step into island magee..All will start to play out now in my opinion because the demand for gas is unstoppable at the moment and in the medium term .The large ship going to Appledore is also interesting but I accept it may well be unconnected to gas supply.JW was at no 10 to discuss amongst other things the gas supply and infas roll in my view.
Chitta, morning am glad someone can read into why its in dock I Belfast, and yes spot on there will be more
Teekay the owner of the Dorset spirit are the largest shipper of crude and LNG.Meetings between energy company's and the government this morning to address the energy crisis related to gas supply highlights the need for a supply and storage facility..Until those caverns are in play we will need a regasification vessel and it makes sense to convert a vessel in quick fashion to alleviate what is almost an emergency situation.I would not be surprised to see more than one of these regasification vessels positioned around are coasts ie Belfast Barrow .The MARINE LICENCE is a must now .
