About Exmar

EXMAR is specialised in activities relating to the transport of gas, and in particular the transport of liquefied gases, such as LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and ammonia (NH³). EXMAR Offshore focuses on selective projects where it can bring added value, such as the provision of goods and services to the offshore oil and gas industry.

LPG/NH³

The LPG/NH³ division is active in the transport of liquid petroleum gas, butane, propane, anhydrous ammonia and chemical gases, primarily with ships of the Midsize type (24,000 - 40,000 m³), VLGCs (>80,000 m³) and pressurised vessels (3,500 - 5,000 m³). The LPG/ NH³ segment has been the cornerstone of EXMAR's development for more than 30 years. The EXMAR Group is operates and manages a fleet of about 30 vessels, which makes EXMAR an important participant in the world market. EXMAR services first-class international customers active in the fertiliser, clean energy fuel and petrochemical industries.

LNG

The LNG activities are focused on two main activities: LNG TRANSPORTATION (conventional LNG carriers and LNG Regasification Vessels) and LNG UP- and DOWNSTREAM. EXMAR has made substantial investments in the LNG shipping sector. EXMAR has pioneered the implementation of regasification technology (LNGRV), making possible the discharge of natural gas at sea without the need to call at a port or terminal. EXMAR aims to become an integrated service provider by expanding the scope of activities along the LNG value claim, both upstream and downstream.

OFFSHORE

EXMAR has been active in the offshore industry for 25 years and as such has a high level of knowledge and experience in the ownership, management and operation of floating systems. To date, the EXMAR Group owns two accommodation barges and recently designed and constructed a semi-submersible production platform (OPTI-EX®) that was sold mid-2011 over a five year transaction with seller's credit. EXMAR Offshore also provides offshore services to third parties:

Design, engineering and consultancy services with offices located in Paris and Houston.
Management services with an office located in Antwerp dedicated to providing Marine and Integrated Risk Management services to offshore installations.

EXMAR supports these clients in achieving the highest possible reliability for their vessels.
