Independent bunker fuel supplier to the marine industry Titan recently said one of its LNG bunkering vessels, Optimus, was refilled in a ship-to-ship transfer at Skagen for the first time.
It said it was involved in its first ship-to-ship transfer on the anchorage in Skagen between Denmark and Sweden.
The Optimus took full cargo from Equinor’s LNG tanker Arctic Princess in the recent ship-to-ship transfer.
“We are extremely proud of this milestone,” Titan said in a social media post.
“Thank you Fendercare Marine, Höegh LNG, TB Marine Shipmanagement (Riga) and Equinor for your trust and cooperation for this operation.”
Manifold Times previously reported Titan announcing it expanded its controlled fleet with the charter of a fifth vessel in a long-term agreement with Elenger.
The Optimus arrived at the Port of Amsterdam on 6 July 2022 giving Titan the opportunity to meet the crew and prepare them for bunkering in the ARA region.
