STURGEON BAY, WI – The 482-foot-long heavy lift vessel BBC Philippines is at Sturgeon Bay, WI, delivering a cargo of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) tanks. The tanks are for the new build 3794, a bunkering barge that will be used to fuel ships at sea. On Thursday, the tug Nickelena brought a barge over to BBC Philippines for offloading the tanks. The LNG tanks were manufactured at Alcotmi Inc., a prominent Canadian industrial manufacturer that designs and fabricates large-scale industrial pressure vessels, chemical tanks, and atmospheric equipment. BBC Philippines is 482′ x 75,’ built in 2023, and sailing under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda. This is her first visit to the Great Lakes/Seaway system.
