No shortage of energy
A growing roster of some of the world’s largest – and most demanding –
companies relies on Lauritzen Kosan for dependable and trouble-free ocean
transport of liquefied gases, including petrochemical gases, energy gases
(LPG) and ammonia. We have an unsurpassed record of safety and reliability
in handling these volatile cargoes, and the new semi-pressurised gas
carriers now entering our fleet are among the industry’s most
technologically advanced and environmentally friendly vessels.
Lauritzen Kosan serves customers in the energy, petrochemical and
agricultural sectors in markets around the globe. We have established a
dominant market position in Europe and the Mediterranean. The 2006 opening
of a Shanghai office puts us in an excellent position to increase our share
of the growing Far East market, particularly by serving the oil and
chemical majors who are building significant China operations.

re-engineering of JL’s business portfolio was completed with the sale of the

3,000 m3. As a consequence, JL continued the expansion within larger gas
carriers and MR product tankers by ordering of newbuildings and purchase of
second-hand tonnage.
