Titan LNG has announced that it has successfully completed the first ever LNG bunker delivery at the Port of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to a sea-going vessel.
The operation involved the transfer of 220 m3 of LNG to the Fure West – a 144 m long, 17 557 dwt oil products tanker owned by Furetank. Delivery was carried out at the Groene Kade in Amsterdam through the use of five trucks, taking 12 hours.
Michael Schaap, Commercial Director Marine, Titan LNG, said: “We are proud to be the first company to bunker LNG to a sea-going vessel in the Port of Amsterdam, and look forward to supplying more vessels with LNG as a fuel in the near future. Our aim is to build on this experience to further streamline operations, and to make bunkering of LNG just as common as delivering traditional oil product bunker fuel.”
