KPI OceanConnect has collaborated with Titan Clean Fuels, and shipowner SFL to successfully complete the company’s first LNG bunkering operation for the newly built car carrier, Emden, taking place in the Port of Emden.
Milestone LNG Bunkering Operation
Michael Schaap, Commercial Director, Titan, said: “Demand for LNG is rising as it is becoming a mainstream fuel since it is widely available today and enables ship operators to reduce emissions now. This operation highlights our commitment to consistently serve our clients as a trustworthy provider of cleaner fuels and we look forward to continuing to enhance our LNG and bio-LNG bunkering capabilities as the market grows, enabling us to supply (bio)LNG to even larger vessels.”
Jesper Sørensen, Global Head of Alternative Fuels and Carbon Markets, KPI OceanConnect, said: “We are incredibly proud of the trust displayed in us by a forward-thinking owner such as SFL, and delighted to have partnered with a world-class supplier, Titan, to complete this supply of 3,000 CBM of LNG. This significant achievement underscores KPI OceanConnect’s unwavering commitment to supporting the growing role of LNG in the shipping industry’s energy transition. The operation marks our inaugural LNG deal for a car carrier – testament to the company’s dedication to advancing sustainability through partnerships up and down the supply chain.”
He added, “Partnership plays a key role, not just in the development of future alternative fuels, but also in the delivery of those already available in the market. Cooperation between fuel providers and buyers in the market is essential to supporting capacity growth and, crucially, immediately reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the industry.”
