Stolt-Nielsen Gas

Stolt-Nielsen entered the market for the transportation of liquefied petroleum


gas (LPG) in late 2009.

Stolt-Nielsen Gas (SNG) builds on the Company’s global expertise in the safe
and efficient transportation of cargoes with specialised handling requirements.
SNG will also capitalise on the cost and resource advantages that stem from
having access to the global capabilities of Stolt-Nielsen S.A. and its operating
units.

SNG’s fleet currently includes two very large gas carriers (VLGCs), the
Yuhsho and the Stolt Avance. Yuhsho, built in 1999 with a capacity of 78,498
cbm, is currently on a three-year time charter to SNG.
Stolt Avance is the former Althea Gas, an 82,557 cbm VLGC built in 2003 and
acquired by SNG in late 2009. Both ships are traded in the spot and time-
charter markets. SNG expects to continue to charter and acquire ships as
attractive and competitively priced opportunities present themselves.

materials such as iron ore and coal. Identifiable by the hatches
raised above deck level which cover the large cargo holds.

Tankers transport crude oil, chemicals and petroleum products.


Tankers can appear similar to bulk carriers, but the deck is
flush and covered by oil pipelines and vents.
Ferries and Cruise ships

Ferries usually perform short journeys for a mix of passengers, cars


and commercial vehicles. Most of these ships are Ro-Ro (roll on
- roll off) ferries, where vehicles can drive straight on and off,
making it a speedy and easily accessible way to travel.Demand
for cruise ships expanded rapidly during the 1980s, leading to a
new generation of large and luxurious 'floating hotels'.

industry, salvage tugs, ice breakers and research vessels.
