The LNG London has conducted the first ship-to-ship LNG bunkering of a cruise vessel in the Port of Rotterdam.
The ‘milestone’ bunkering took place on 1 October, Antwerp-based Victrol said in a social media post.
The 3,000 cbm-capacity LNG London, which is owned by LNG Shipping, a cooperation between Victrol and Sogestran, is on long-term charter to Shell. According to Victrol, since beginning operations in June 2019, the vessel has carried out more than 200 LNG bunkering operations.
As Bunkerspot previously reported, in July 2019, LNG Shipping announced it had been awarded an LNG bunkering licence at the Port of Antwerp for the LNG London. In addition to the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, the vessel, which is loaded with LNG at the Gate terminal in Rotterdam, is also used by Shell in the Port of Amsterdam.
