ORLEN and Gdynia Port to Assess LNG and Bio-LNG Bunkering Potential
Polish energy firm ORLEN and the Port of Gdynia Authority have signed an agreement to explore the use of LNG and bio-LNG as marine fuels at the Polish port.
The partnership will examine market demand, bunkering infrastructure, operational conditions and regulatory requirements, the firms said in a press release on Thursday.
It will also assess ship-to-ship bunkering and the feasibility of supplying vessels while alongside.
The study will focus on the needs of ferry, container and ro-ro operators and review bunkering solutions used at other European ports.
The initiative forms part of ORLEN’s efforts to expand its LNG and bio-LNG activities and support the development of alternative marine fuel infrastructure along the Polish coast.
“Our expanded cooperation with the Port of Gdynia marks an important step in developing the LNG and bioLNG market in the Tricity area and forms part of a wider transformation of ORLEN’s fuel portfolio through 2035,” Robert Soszyński, Vice President of the ORLEN Management Board, Operations, said.
“Shipowners are looking for solutions that could reduce emissions, while ports need to be ready to accommodate vessels using a range of fuels and technologies,” Piotr Gorzeński, CEO of the Port of Gdynia Authority, said.
