License
As part of this strategy, Gasum has now obtained a license to deliver LNG to maritime customers in Belgium.
The license includes the important port of Zeebrugge, which is one of Europe’s leading pure car/truck carrier hubs.
The number of LNG-powered car/truck carriers is growing rapidly, subsequently increasing the global demand for maritime LNG.
”Obtaining this license underlines Gasum’s commitment to act as a reliable European maritime LNG supplier and enabler of maritime decarbonisation.
It also supports our growth strategy and enables us to deliver safe and clean energy, which helps our customers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions considerably.
Bunkering hub
“Furthermore, the ARA region and Zeebrugge as a bunkering hub are set to grow in importance, making it a strategic area for Gasum,” said Jacob Granqvist, Vice President of Gasum.
LNG is now the cleanest maritime fuel available, and it will play a significant part in the maritime industry’s decarbonization. LNG emits much less CO2 and nearly no particle pollution when compared to heavy fuel oil. According to Gasum, switching to LNG is one of the concrete steps that may be taken to move the world toward greener maritime transportation and a low-carbon civilization.
