That carrier is being built for the Ichthys LNG project in northwestern Australia.

The ship will be used for transporting LNG from an onshore processing plant that is being constructed at Darwin as part of the Ichthys LNG project.

It is due to enter service by the end of 2015, in time for the completion of the plant.

The ship is also the first Moss-type LNG carrier equipped with a dual-fuel diesel engine, which burns both fuel oil and gas.

Yokogawa will deliver its Centum VP integrated production control system for monitoring and controlling the LNG carrier's LNG tanks and loading-unloading facilities.

Centum VP will also be responsible for the supply of gas to the DFDE and the supply of power to other driving units.

Yokogawa will also be responsible for the engineering and commissioning of the control system.

The company has already delivered control systems for other DFDE ships, which it believes helped it win this contract.

Yokogawa also has a global service network so its systems can be maintained at any other LNG port.

The company won the control systems order for other Ichthys LNG project facilities in 2012.

These include the onshore LNG processing plant, offshore production and process facilities and the floating production, storage and offloading vessel.

With this LNG carrier contract, the Centum VP system will cover all project facilities from production to LNG transport.

Backed by this order, Yokogawa is expanding its control business for other marine resource development facilities, including LNG carriers, FPSO vessels, floating LNG vessels and floating storage and regasification units.
