Titan LNG, a Dutch independent LNG supplier, has completed another bunkering operation at the Port of Antwerp.
The company noted its bunkering barge, FlexFueler 001 bunkered the Wes Amelie, a container vessel owned by Wessels Reederei and chartered by Unifeeder at the Belgian New Fruit Wharf NV Terminal at the Port of Antwerp.
The company said the operation supports the expansion of LNG bunkering in the Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam (ARA) region.
Titan LNG also supplies bio-LNG which can be dropped in and blended with LNG using existing infrastructure and engine technology. The next step of using green hydrogen to convert into E-Fuels (synthetic LG) is under development by Titan for implementation in 2024.
From all available E-Fuels like ammonia and methanol, E-LNG is the only fuel with global existing infrastructure to serve the marine industry and the best energy density, the company said in its statement.
To remind, in 2017, Wes Amelie was the world’s first boxship to be retrofitted to run on LNG. Then in November 2019, the vessel was chosen for a retrofit project that would see it run on liquefied synthetic natural gas (SNG).
