Anglo-Eastern launches LNG and ammonia bunkering station skid for training

Anglo-Eastern, global provider of independent ship management services, on Monday (3 March) announced the establishment of a new Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and ammonia bunkering station skid at Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy (AEMA) located in Karjat, Mumbai.

The skid is designed to provide hands-on training in the safe and efficient fuelling of LNG- and ammonia-powered vessels. 

Equipped with the latest cryogenic fuelling technology and safety systems, the skid provides a controlled environment for training in LNG and ammonia transfer operations, emergency response procedures, and regulatory compliance. 

It is designed to replicate real-world bunkering operations, delivering essential education and skill development for those working in the rapidly expanding field of alternative marine fuels.

The bunkering station skid is the newest addition to the dual-fuel centre of excellence at Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy and was inaugurated by Alexander Saverys, CEO at CMB.TECH on 20 Feb.

Capt. Aalok Sharma, Group Director of Training at Anglo-Eastern, said: “We are thrilled to introduce this LNG/Ammonia bunkering station skid as part of our commitment to shaping the future of maritime fuel safety and efficiency.”

“As the industry transitions toward sustainable fuels, the need for well-trained professionals has never been greater. This new facility will equip maritime personnel with the knowledge and hands-on experience required to meet the challenges of LNG and ammonia bunkering.”

The training programme, utilising the newly launched bunkering station skid, provides exposure to not only seafarers but also to stakeholders based ashore, placing them in a better position to support their onboard teams.
