Rotterdam, 2nd of November 2018: Titan LNG, the leading LNG supplier to marine and industrial users in North West Europe, has successfully completed the first-ever LNG bunker delivery at Mukran Port on the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea.
A total of seven trucks delivered LNG as fuel for DEME’s liquefied natural gas-fueled dredger Scheldt River, the company said in its statement on Friday. (DEME is leader in the fields of dredging, marine engineering and environmental remediation)
Truck deliveries enable delivery of LNG anywhere. For vessels that require LNG it is possible to be supplied in German ports at prices below the price of marine gasoil.
“The approval process for obtaining clearance to bunker is becoming more standardized and approvals are received faster from the ports. LNG as a bunker fuel is gaining traction as the fuel itself, the financial and operational benefits are becoming well-known”, Jippe van Eijnatten, business development manager commented. Based on Titan LNG’s track record this delivery was realised on short notice and Titan LNG would like to thank the vessel crew and the staff of the Mukran Port for the excellent collaboration.
Besides the truck-to-ship LNG bunkering operations, Titan LNG is gearing towards the ship-to-ship bunkering services in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp area once its FlexFueler001 bunkering pontoon currently under construction hits the water at the start of 2019.
