LNG project team
Houlder has set up a project team at its London headquarters to work exclusively on developing LNG projects in response to market requirements.
The company says its new investment in talent means it can build on its current LNG equipment projects to help with all aspects of marine design, engineering and project management, from initial FEED study to implementation.
Ian Meaden, former lead of Lloyd’s Register Gas Ship Centre of Excellence and senior naval architect at Wavespec, joined the team this month. He said: “I’m very pleased to join the Houlder team and expand their LNG capability. These are exciting times in the Gas Ship sector with fresh challenges and opportunities.”
Des Upcraft, who also joined this month from Lloyd’s Register, heads up business development and Lijo Thomas has joined as senior engineer.
Houlder is expecting to recruit more people to the team in the coming year and is already advising key players in the industry on future strategy.
