Nordic energy company Gasum on Thursday (20 February) said it is bunkering Norway-based global energy company Equinor’s tugboats Borgøy and Bokn with bio-LNG throughout 2025.
The first bunkering of the vessel Borgøy was successfully carried out at Kårstø on 14 February.
The latest agreement is part of the continuing collaboration between Gasum and Equinor around increasing use of bio-LNG bunker fuel.
In 2024 Gasum supplied bio-LNG to Equinor’s chartered platform supply vessel, Island Crusader, in the Port of Dusavik, Stavanger.
Expanding the use of bio-LNG to the fuel of choice for powering these tugboats is another step on the journey towards Equinor’s sustainability goals. Equinor’s goal is to become a net-zero emissions energy company by 2050.
“We are ready to provide bio-LNG bunkering services to shipping companies whose vessels operate on liquefied natural gas. LNG and bio-LNG are fully interchangeable and can be mixed at any ratio,” Gasum said.
