Skangas bunkers LNG-powered M.V. Greenland for the first time in Norway

On January 8,Skangas bunkered the M.V. Greenland in Westport Stavanger (Risavikahavn), Norway, for the first time. This was done by a truck to ship delivery. M.V. Greenland is a dedicated cement carrier built in 2015, operated by KGJ Cement, and another proof of the new environmental friendly vessels coming into operation. When operating on natural gas M.V. Greenland will comply with the most stringent emission criteria and it will meet potential future environmental limitations.

Skangas notice that the LNG concept is growing into new shipping segments. From the start with LNG for passenger ferries and offshore service vessels in Norway the interest is expanding to a variety of segments, also overseas. Today LNG is used as fuel in coastguard vessels, tankers, catamarans, RoRo’s and tugs.

M.V. Greenland will be followed by a sister vessel, also powered by LNG, expected to be delivered during May 2016. M.V. Greenland is currently operating in the spot market opening up for a variety of possible bunkering ports.

Skangas offers LNG supply in Northern Europe, using truck, bunker vessels and pipe solutions.
