Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Ineos-Independence

On November 14, 2018, at 11 p.m., the 'JS Ineos Independence' encountered technical difficulties with its controllable pitch propeller while navigating in ballast from Grangemouth to Marcus Hook, USA. The vessel, carrying a crew of 22, was positioned at coordinates 050 50 44 N and 001 05 53 E when it became adrift in the southwest bound lane of the Dover Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) off Dungeness. Fortunately, repair work commenced shortly after the mechanical failure, and by 1:50 a.m. on November 15, the necessary repairs were successfully completed. The ship subsequently resumed its journey, now with an estimated time of arrival set for November 24.

Evergas has unveiled its seventh Dragon class vessel, the JS INEOS INDEPENDENCE, during a naming ceremony held on April 19 at Sunoco’s terminal in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania. This state-of-the-art 27,500 cbm multigas LNG carrier marks a significant milestone in a series of eight advanced carriers. The Dragon class vessels stand out as some of the largest and most versatile multigas carriers ever constructed, designed through a synergy of strong partnerships and a strategic vision between Evergas and INEOS. This collaboration has innovatively established a secure seaborne pipeline for transporting U.S. ethane to European markets across the Atlantic. The success of these vessels is attributed to the close cooperation with leading manufacturers, which has facilitated the development of these sustainable, efficient, and technologically advanced ships.
