			<title>Well Run Plan Comes to Fruition in Japan</title>
			<description>  	   	Japan aims to combat energy shortage with the completion of a new LNG project with assistance from global ship to ship transfer specialists SPT.   	  	Commissioning and full cold trial LNG Ship-To-Ship Transfers have been completed successfully between the 125,000 m&amp;sup3; LNGC LNG Taurus, chartered by JAPEX (Japan Petroleum Exploration Co.,LTD), owned and operated by MOL (Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd.), and the coastal 3,500 m&amp;sup3; LNGC Akebono Maru, chartered by JAPEX, owned and operated by Shinwa Chemical tankers.   	  	The ship-to-ship transfer of LNG planned and operated by JAPEX is the first of its kind in Japan and is fully compliant with the new SIGTTO LNG STS guidelines. SPT also added support and advice to the project when going through the approval process with the Japanese government and coastguard.

			<title>Bahamas Added to SPT's Global Portfolio of Support Bases</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;
	SPT has successfully completed their first support operation at their new Bahamas location. This operation was a prime example of the company&amp;rsquo;s ability to react quickly and meet the needs of their customers. From gaining the approval of the Bahamas authorities, finding a suitable support craft with a well-established local operator and to transporting the equipment with a tight deadline to accommodate the vessels involved. It was a great display of teamwork and the organization extends their thanks to everyone who brought this formation to fruition.&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>SPT Achieves Safety Milestone of Working Two Years Without a Lost Time Injury</title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;
	SPT Inc. (&amp;ldquo;SPT&amp;rdquo; or the &amp;ldquo;Company&amp;rdquo;) announced today that on &lt;strong&gt;August 1, the Company accomplished the safety milestone of working 730 days without a lost time injury &lt;/strong&gt;(an injury requiring time off from work).&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	SPT is a worldwide provider of marine transfer services and leads the industry with its safety performance.
