Shell Marine on Thursday (14 August) said it completed the LNG bunkering operation of a Höegh Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTC) at the Port of Zeebrugge.
Dexter Belmar, Vice President, Global Downstream LNG, said the company refuelled Höegh Sunlight using its bunker barge Energy Stockholm in collaboration with Glander International Bunkering and Unicore Fuel Europe.
In a social media post, he said the operation was part of a series of successful bunkering of Hoegh PCTCs by Shell in Europe over recent months.
He said Höegh Autoliners is advancing its decarbonisation journey with 12 Aurora Class vessels on order.
The first eight vessels will be dual-fuel LNG PCTCs, with six already in operation, The last four vessels in the series aim to run on ammonia. The Aurora Class vessels feature strengthened decks for electric vehicles on all 14 decks, 1,500 m² of solar panels, and the ability to connect with shore power at port, allowing auxiliary engines to be switched off while cargo operations are ongoing.
“We are proud to provide LNG bunkering to our PCTC customers in many of our locations across the globe, including Singapore, Gibraltar, Zeebrugge, Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Savannah,” he said.
