During last year’s annual LNG World Shipping Ship/Shore Interface Conference, Chris Clucas, BSM Expert – Liquefied Gas, Technical, was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award, widely regarded as the highest accolade at the conference.

The award categories at the LNG World Shipping Ship/Shore Interface Conference recognise innovation and excellence in LNG shipping and include achievements in safety, vessel design and terminal operations during the past year, as well as the Lifetime Achievement Award, which honours an individual who has made significant contributions to the sector.

Humbled and surprised, Chris said, “Really, I think we should recognise the people who have pioneered across the industry, and I don’t really feel being one of them. You often come by chance in this industry, for many people including myself, and find it so fascinating that you stay there.”

“Mr Clucas’ deep working knowledge of gas shipping has been an invaluable asset for his employers at BSM over the past 40 years. His unique blend of industry knowledge and communications skills bring to bear on the many international conference sessions and industry association committees and working groups he has chaired over the years,” ​said Mike Corkhill, LNG World Shipping editor.
