Cryostar and KC LNG are scheduled to commission the LNG facility in 1Q20. According to the statement, the facility will allow Fluxys, G&V, Titan LNG and Rolande to substantially widen the LNG fuelling options at quay 526/528 in the port of Antwerp, where truck-to-ship bunkering services are currently offered.
KC LNG claims that LNG-powered inland waterway ships will be able to dock at quay 526/528 for bunkering from a fixed storage unit, while LNG-powered trucks will also be able to refuel at the facility as well. Furthermore, in mid-2020, the FlexFueler002 LNG bunkering barge will become operational in the greater Antwerp port area, allowing for safe and efficient ship-to-ship LNG bunkering on a larger scale.
