Oct 13 (LNGJ) - Italian utility Edison and Knutsen OAS Shipping of Norway have held a naming ceremony at the northeast Italian port of Ravenna for the 30,000 cubic metres capacity LNG carrier, “Ravenna Knutsen”. The vessel will serve a small-scale LNG import terminal joint venture at the port.
The terminal will supply at least 12,000 trucks and up to 48 ferries per annum with LNG fuel. Edison and Spain’s gas grid operator Enagás are shareholders in the Italian facility and are cooperating on developing small-scale LNG use in the Mediterranean region of both Italy and Spain. “The vessel is pivotal in the first integrated small-scale LNG logistics chain in Italy, which Edison has built to promote the decarbonisation of maritime and heavy transport,” said Edison.
