Poland’s Seatech wins contract from Seapeak to support LNG carrier quarter

Poland’s Seatech Engineering said it has won a contract from LNG carrier operator Seapeak, previously known as Teekay LNG, to support four LNG tankers.

Seatech said in a statement it would provide engineering support to Q-Flex LNG carriers Al Huwaila, Al Khuwair, AL Shamal, and Al Kharsaah.

Built in 2008 by South Korea’s Samsung Heavy, these 315 meter long LNG carriers have a capacity of 217,000 cbm and feature GTT’s Mark III containment system, Seatech added.

The firm did not provide additional information regarding the contract.

Seapeak and Qatari LNG shipping giant Nakilat jointly own these four LNG carriers which are one charter to Qatargas, according to VesselsValue data.

Earlier this year, Teekay LNG rebranded as Seapeak following the completion of its $6.2 billion merger deal with private equity firm Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners.

The shipping firm has interests in 47 LNG carriers and is one of the world’s largest operators of such vessels. It also operates 20 mid-size LPG carriers and seven multi-gas carriers, according to its website.
