Ship-to-ship LNG bunkering service commences in Port of Zeebrugge
THE bunkering vessel Engie Zeebrugge now makes weekly ship-to-ship LNG (liquefied natural gas) deliveries in Belgium's Port of Zeebrugge to Auto Eco and Auto Energy, two ro-ro vessels.
The fuel supplier Engie Zeebrugge arrived in Zeebrugge at the beginning of April after delivery from Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction in Busan after a 38-day voyage.
The bunkering vessel now conducts a weekly service to the ro-ro ships, the first of its type offering such services. The Engie Zeebrugge loads LNG at Fluxys' LNG terminal, which recently commissioned its second jetty specifically designed for also receiving very small LNG carriers.
The vessel is jointly owned by Engie, Mitsubishi, NYK, and Fluxys. With an LNG capacity of 5,000 m3, she will service all types of shipping customers in northern Europe from her home port of Zeebrugge, under the brand Gas4Sea.
This commercial brand was launched in September 2016 by Engie, Mitsubishi and NYK to promote and develop the use of LNG as an alternative to oil-based marine fuels.
