An upgraded cryogenic clean room to handle more cargo pumps

Keppel Shipyard is the leading LNG/LPG shiprepair yard in Asia outside of Japan.

With its dedicated facility, Benoi Yard, Keppel Shipyard has established a growing and enviable track record, with many successful major projects in its portfolio.

Our expertise and compliance with stringent safety standards for the technologically demanding repair of LNG carriers is also renowned in the industry.
Keppel Shipyard's committed project teams are trained to handle LNG docking and life-extension works within time schedule.

Keppel Shipyard's cargo engineers and workers are equipped to handle sophisticated cryogenic machinery jobs including low temperature welding and instrumentation works such as cargo tank monitoring system.

In addition, we have undergone training organised by Gaz Transport Technigaz (GTT) on membrane LNG carrier technique. We also have the expertise to conduct a Global Test on the tightness of the membrane walls during docking and monitor cargo tank condition during maintenance and repairs.

Furthermore, with the upgrading of the yard's clean room facilities, Keppel now has the ability not only to handle more LNG pumps due to increased floor area, but also to manage LNG pumps of higher capacities. Repair lead times are also reduced with the exclusive usage of the gantry crane for LNG pumps overhaul.

Keppel Shipyard's satisfied clients include the world's leading transporters of this vital energy source such as Nippon Yusen Kaisha, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Golar Management, Humolco Trans Ltd, Pronav Ship Management, Hoegh Fleet Services, Pertamina and Qatar Liquefied Gas Co.
