Portsmouth starts LNG bunkering
A cleaner future has arrived at Portsmouth after the first bunkering transfer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the port.
The Saint-Malo, the first of two new electric-hybrid ships from Brittany Ferries from the city, took on LNG fuel from the Optimus, a bunkering barge operated by Titan Clean Fuels.
These ferries will soon enter service.
Titan was issued a permit to perform LNG bunkering operations at Portsmouth International Port earlier this month, following a long-term agreement signed with Brittany Ferries.
LNG bunkering is now available to all sailing in and out of Portsmouth International Port.
LNG allows for the blending in of BioLNG derived from organic waste at any proportion requested.
Ben McInnes, harbour master at Portsmouth International Port, said: “We’ve worked hard to make sure we can bring safe and efficient LNG bunkering to our customers.”
“As well as our goals to be carbon net-neutral by 2030 and emissions free by 2050, we’re also committed to improving air quality for those who live and work in Portsmouth.
Later this year the port will debut a shore power plug in system for compatible ships.
