Avenir LNG Limited (Avenir) on Tuesday (14 June) said its wholly owned subsidiary, Avenir Marine Limited (Avenir Marine), has entered into a three-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) Bunkering Supply Agreement (SPA) with ferry service provider Destination Gotland AB for the supply of up to 40,000 metric tonnes (mt) per annum of LNG as marine fuel for the vessels M/S Gotland and M/S Visby.
Under the agreement, Avenir Marine will deliver LNG to both M/S Gotland and M/S Visby via ship-to-ship transfer in Visby, Sweden using the Avenir Ascension, our 7,500cbm LNG Bunker Vessel which was delivered earlier this year.
The first bunker delivery under this new agreement was successfully conducted on 8 June 2022 and deliveries will continue through to Q2 2025.
Peter Mackey, CEO of Avenir LNG Limited, said: “We are delighted to have entered into this agreement with Destination Gotland who have been a pioneer in the adoption of LNG as a marine fuel since 2018. In the coming months we will continue to expand our operations across the Baltic Sea. We look forward to building this long term partnership with Destination Gotland and for many safe and reliable deliveries going forward.
Marcus Risberg, CEO of Destination Gotland, said: “We appreciate Avenir Marine establishing operations in the Baltic Sea area providing new opportunities for LNG and BioLNG bunkering using their recently delivered Bunker Vessel. Following the first successful bunker deliveries during the past days we look forward to develop a long-lasting partnership with Avenir Marine.”
Avenir LNG in late May received Avenir Achievement, its second 20,000 cubic metre (m3) capacity dual-purpose liquefied natural gas supply and bunkering vessel (LBV), from Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering Co.
