Thursday October 2, 2025
A container ship was bunkered with bio-LNG at the Port of Malaga, marking the first bio-LNG bunkering operation at the southern Spanish port.
The MSC Gabon was bunkered with 3,000 m3 of bio-LNG by energy firm Axpo, the Port of Malaga said in a statement on its website on Wednesday.
The ship-to-ship operation was carried out by bunker vessel Avenir Aspiration.
Axpo is authorised to provide LNG bunkering services to ships in the port.
“The successful operation confirms Malaga as a strategic hub for the supply of alternative fuels in the Mediterranean, opening up new opportunities for the development of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly services,” the port said.
