Argent Marine Operations, Inc. (AMO) has a broad background in naval architecture and marine engineering. AMO professionals have been involved in design, construction and conversion projects, ranging from military support ships, to commercial tankers, cargo vessels, and tugs. Recent experiences include development of overhaul specifications, detail design, regulatory review, securing shipyard bids, overhaul contract negotiations and overhaul management of the Argent Marine Companies'  LNG carriers. This work included extensive upgrades to the vessels to meet current regulatory and industry standards. Upon completion of their $30+ million overhauls the LNGC LNG DELTA and LNGC GALEOMMA successfully re-entered service after being laid up for nearly 20 years.  The vessels are expected to trade for another 40 years or longer.
