Global bunker trading firm Glander International Bunkering on Tuesday (16 January) said it collaborated with LNG supplier Rohe Solutions Oy to supply LNG bunker fuel by truck to oil/chemical tanker SAANA on 16 December.
The supply took place at the port of Kokkola in Finland, a historic first for the port. Amid harsh winter conditions, the Valencia team at Glander International Bunkering coordinated with the port authorities, the LNG supplier and the vessel crew.
Sales Manager Alvaro Sierra Navarro, of the Valencia office, said: “This LNG delivery marks a milestone for our company, as we facilitate another first within the industry – this time, the first LNG supply in Kokkola.”
“Decarbonisation requires collaboration on multiple fronts, shown in this case by the synergy among our in-house green fuels advisors and our relationship with the Rohe team.”
To meet the recent global demand for green fuel bunkering, Glander International Bunkering assembled a team of New Fuels Advisors from around the world to provide solutions as a green fuel bunker partner.
New Fuels Advisor Mustafa El Zein in Valencia, who was among those involved in this recent operation, said: “We stand ready to serve the growing LNG bunker requirements, for different vessel types especially as decarbonization gains momentum.”
