Port of Nanaimo on Wednesday (18 June) said the first LNG bunkering operation in the port was completed with shipowner Seaspan, marking a new milestone for the Canadian port.
Bunker vessel Seaspan Garibaldi successfully completed a ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operation at anchor to Lake Saint Anne, an LNG-powered car carrier chartered by EUKOR and managed by Eastern Pacific Shipping Limited (EPS).
“With multiple successful LNG bunkering operations already completed in 2025 for car carriers, tankers, container ships, and cruise ships, Seaspan Energy is setting the standard for reliable LNG ship-to-ship bunkering on the West Coast of North America,” the port said in a social media post.
“The Port of Nanaimo is supportive of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and Seaspan’s groundbreaking efforts to introduce cleaner fuels into the marine industry. Seaspan Energy is the first company in Canada to provide ship-to-ship LNG bunkering solutions and have three vessels working on the West Coast of North America.”
