Independent physical liquefied natural gas (LNG) marine fuel supplier Titan LNG on Monday (23 May) said its FlexFueler 002 bunker barge delivered 60 metric tonnes of bio-LNG bunker fuel to the Fure Vinga tanker last week in the Port of Amsterdam.
The Fure Vinga is owned by Swedish shipping company Furetank which is a frontrunner in the use of bio-LNG-powered vessels, says Titan LNG on a social media post.
The bio-LNG marine fuel delivered to the Fure Vinga, and all of the bio-LNG Titan LNG uses, has received a full ISCC – International Sustainability and Carbon Certification.
This provides the highest degree of assurance on the sustainability and traceability of the product.
“Not only does this delivery unlock new supply possibilities for Furetank in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp region, but it is also a milestone for Amsterdam, as its first delivery of bio-LNG,” said Titan LNG.
“Reducing carbon emissions while also future-proofing vessels is at the core of Titan’s mission, and we take pride in investing in the production of bio-LNG, a clean fuel that is available for use right now.”
