Global energy company Shell on Wednesday (26 September) said it conducted Port of Gibraltar’s first LNG bunkering operation of a cruise ship. 

The firm bunkered Silversea Cruises’ ship Silver Nova with LNG bunker fuel in the port on 24 September. 

“Notably, this operation was also the Port of Gibraltar’s first ‘in-port’ bunkering, highlighting Shell’s commitment to develop Gibraltar as a key LNG bunkering hub, offering bunkering services both within the port and at the anchorage,” Tahir Faruqui, Global Head of Shell Downstream LNG, said in a social media post.

“The close collaboration between Royal Caribbean Group, Anthony Veder, the Gibraltar Port Authority (GPA), and Shell ensured a safe and successful bunkering. A big thank you to all the teams involved,” he added.
