Spain Moves Ahead on LNG with Largest Bunker Operation
Thursday March 15, 2018
A Canadian hybrid fuel ship, Mia Desgagnes, has stemmed liquified natural gas (LNG) in the Spanish Mediterranean port of Cartagena.
The ship received 425 cubic metres of LNG by truck, according to Spanish energy company Repsol which supplied the fuel.
"This amount represents the largest bunkering operation to date, both for Spain and Repsol," Repsol said in a statement.
The company is not new to LNG bunkering as it has supplied LNG to ten different LNG-fuelled vessels at several Spanish ports.
Last year it made the first LNG terminal-to-ship bunker supply in Europe from a regasification terminal and the first cooldown and supply for a LNG-fuelled vessel at Gijón.
