Marine LNG Zeebrugge has signed a deal to supply LNG to Norwegian energy group Equinor’s four crude shuttle tankers in the Port of Rotterdam.
A joint venture of the Gas4Sea partners - ENGIE, Mitsubishi Corporation and NYK, Marine LNG Zeebrugge will supply LNG using the LNG bunkering vessel ENGIE Zeebrugge, which started operations in 2017.
ENGIE Zeebrugge holds an LNG capacity of 5,000 cubic metres and is designed to serve a full range of shipping customers. The vessel is currently performing ship-to-ship LNG bunkering services in the port of Zeebrugge, in Belgium.
The four planned dual fuel vessels are to come into service in early 2020. They will be operated by Equinor in Northern European seas.
Gas4Sea is a commercial brand jointly launched by ENGIE, Mitsubishi Corporation and NYK in 2016 to develop the use of LNG as a sustainable, reliable, safe and cost-effective alternative to conventional oil-based marine fuels. Its purpose and ambition is to accompany the shipping sector in the upcoming transition towards a greener maritime environment, in Europe and worldwide.
