STURGEON BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding christened its latest ship Tuesday. It is designed to transport large quantities of liquid natural gas.

The “clean everglades” barge will hold more than 5,500 cubic meters of liquid natural gas. It’s made as part of a fleet of ships operated by LNG. It will give the U.S. the ability to expand its business to the Gulf of Mexico.

Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding says the demand for liquid natural gas barges is growing rapidly as the industry advances its sustainability goals to meet reduced emissions standards.
