GAC Bunker Fuels Partners with REV LNG and REV LNG Marine

The partnership between REV and GAC will provide LNG bunkering services to the North American market.

GAC Bunker Fuels Ltd. (GBFL) Monday announced that it has partnered with REV LNG, LLC (REV LNG) and REV LNG Marine to provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering services to vessels operating in North America.

"As demand for LNG-fuelled vessels has increased, so has demand for practical, cost effective and efficient LNG bunkering," said Nicholas Browne, Global Director of GAC Bunker Fuels.

"Having already handled over 10,000 LNG port calls over the past decade, GAC is uniquely qualified to facilitate the logistics associated with LNG bunkering options. Our alliance with REV LNG places us even better to meet the needs of the market."

GBFL is noted to already provide bunkering services through 17 port offices in the U.S.

"Through this unique partnership, our direct goal is to recognise and overcome the multiple challenges associated with the widespread adoption of LNG as a bunkering fuel, including guaranteeing security of supply at multiple ports, and overcoming uncertainties associated with fluctuating energy prices," said Bob Bandos, GAC North America’s Managing Director of Shipping.

The partnership between REV and GAC is said to enable the provision of competitively priced LNG bunkering services to the North American market.

"As specialists in bundling LNG infrastructure, processes, and technological innovations which optimise the complete LNG bunker value chain, the REV team brings a quick to market turnkey supply solution to the REV-GAC Alliance, as well as customised marine services that meet the specific needs of individual ship owners and operators," David Kailbourne, CEO of REV LNG.

In July, GAC Brazil announced the opening of a seventh office offering bunkering, and other shipping and marine logistics services.
