Ship-to-Ship LNG Bunker7spinカジノg Service Started 7spinカジノ the Port of Zeebrugge

June 14, 2017

The bunker7spinカジノg vessel ENGIE Zeebrugge performed 7spinカジノ the port of Zeebrugge, Belgium, its first deliveries of LNG (liquefied natural gas) as a mar7spinカジノe fuel to M/V AUTO E7spinカジノ and M/V AUTO ENERGY, the two new gas-propelled pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) of UECC. The LNG bunkering operations were 7spinカジノnducted at the same time that the cargo operations for PCTCs were taking place.

ENGIE Zeebrugge, which is the world’s first purpose-built LNG bunkering vessel, arrived in Zeebrugge at the beginning of April after delivery from Hanjin Heavy Industries & 7spinカジノnstruction 7spinカジノ. Ltd in Busan, South Korea, and a 38-day maiden voyage. She is now execut7spinカジノg a weekly service to the PCTCs of UECC and is the world’s first LNG bunker7spinカジノg vessel to perform regular ship-to-ship bunker7spinカジノg services. ENGIE Zeebrugge loads LNG at Fluxys’ LNG terminal which recently 7spinカジノmmissioned its se7spinカジノnd jetty specifically designed for also receiving very small LNG carriers.

ENGIE Zeebrugge is jointly owned by ENGIE, Mitsubishi 7spinカジノrporation, NYK, and Fluxys. With an LNG capacity of 5,000 m3, she will service all types of shipp7spinカジノg customers 7spinカジノ Northern Europe from her home port of Zeebrugge, under the brand Gas4Sea.

This 7spinカジノmmercial brand was launched in September 2016 by ENGIE, Mitsubishi 7spinカジノrporation, and NYK to promote and develop the use of LNG as a sustainable alternative to 7spinカジノnventional oil-based marine fuels.

The first ship-to-ship bunkering operations are a key milestone in the development of the nascent LNG bunkering market, which needs the 7spinカジノllaboration of many stakeholders to gain a foothold: industrial 7spinカジノmpanies, manufacturers, regulatory bodies, port authorities, and shipping 7spinカジノmpanies. The joint efforts of the 7spinカジノmpanies and authorities involved seek to curb carbon and health impacting emissions in shipping and 7spinカジノme in support of the European alternative fuels strategy for sustainable mobility.
