MULE TAKES THE STRAIN FOR THE PLA PLA REDUCE OPERATIONAL IMPACT WITH KAWASAKI MULE
The Port of London Authority (PLA) is swapping diesel vans for the lightweight Kawasaki Mule utility vehicles, in a trial that is expected to reduce operational emissions and fuel use.
The PLA’s Marine Services base at Denton can be busy with marine engineers running essential people, tools and supplies back and forth from the stores to the jetty as they maintain and repair the Authority’s fleet of 35 boats.
If the trial of the Kawasaki Mule with its 500cc petrol engine is successful, another will be ordered, which will see large diesel vans only needed for moving large parts, like engines.
Dave Fallows, PLA Mechanical and Electrical Engineer said:
Our team is determined to drive down our operational impact and contribute to improving air quality. The Mule is a light weight, but durable vehicle which is expected to be suitable for 50% of our transport jobs.

Offshore marine and engineering consultancy Aqualis Offshore, part of Oslo-listed Aqualis ASA, has been contracted by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co. Ltd to provide an engineering study of a new-build LNG carrier the yard is constructing for Teekay LNG.
The contract value is undisclosed.
Aqualis Offshore’s work scope is to provide failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), hazard dentification (HAZID) and hazard & operability (HAZOP) studies for the boil-off gas handling system and fuel gas system on board the vessel.

redundancy and steering system as well as ensure that electrical generation and distribution systems and associated control systems are designed such that a single fault will not result in the loss of ability to maintain cargo tank pressures.
Teekay LNG will utilise the LNG carrier to provide transportation services for BP Shipping’s LnG volumes from the Freeport LnG project located on Quintana Island near Freeport, Texas.
Aqualis Offshore’s office in Seoul, South Korea, will manage the engineering study project.
We established a physical presence on the doorstep of
the many South Korean yards to support industry players who are based in South Korea but operate internationally. This latest contract with Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries confirms that this strategy is beneficial for both the local yards and international companies such as Teekay LNG.
