LNG GUARDIAN is a Stand-by/Rescue/Salvage/Assistance vessel specially built to perform operations at LNG Terminals, being able to continue with its tasks even during a gas escape in the FSRU terminal, thanks to its devised system of closing locks and conditioned air recirculation. This multipurpose ship is prepared for several operations like: assistance on berthing operations at offshore LNG Terminal, back-up ship-handling, towing, standby, salvage and rescue operations, antipollution services, firefighting operations and oil recovery.
