According to an article published in Euro-Petrole, major energy companies have signed an agreement to deliver LNG.
Terms of agreement
The energy companies Gasum and Equinor have inked an agreement. The agreement dictates that Gasum will deliver LNG to Equinor’s new crude shuttle tankers. The supply will commence when the shuttle tankers start operating during 2020.
LNG ship-to-ship bunkering
The LNG bunkering services are expected to start off Skagen, located in the most northern part of Denmark, and at Mongstad, close to Bergen, Norway. Gasum will utilize its Coralius LNG bunker vessel to perform this service.
Kimmo Rahkamo, Vice President at Gasum said, “We’re happy to support Equinor in its ambition towards cleaner shipping. Last week we celebrated the 200th ship-to-ship LNG bunkering performed by Coralius. That was a major milestone for us, increasing not only the numbers but also expanding the geographical area. We now bunker vessels over an area ranging all the way from Rotterdam to the Gothenburg waters.”
LNG – a viable maritime fuel
LNG is considered as the most environment-friendly shipping fuel that meets the requirements putforth by Sulphur Directive for shipping as well as the stricter future limits set for emissions such as NOx, particulates and CO2.
Increasing interests
The company Gasum is increasingly attracting interest from the maritime segments regarding fuel and services. The company is committed to invest in the LNG supply chain and work together with maritime partners towards a cleaner future.
