Commodity trader Vitol on Friday (9 October) said Vitol Bunkers will commence operating a new 12,500 m3 LNG bunkering vessel later this year.
The company said the Singapore-flagged vessel, Vivit Asai LNG, completed its sea trials.
“Backed by a fully contracted regional supply chain and Vitol’s established global LNG portfolio, and an expanding fleet of LNGBVs continuing into 2027,” the company said.
