LNG

Jan 10 (LNGJ) - Eagle LNG, a subsidiary of Ferus Natural Gas Fuels, said it supplied fuel to the Crowley Maritime Corp. vessel “Taino”, the second of two of the world’s first combination container and roll-on-roll-off ships powered by LNG. The “Taino” was refueled at the Eagle LNG shoreside bunkering depot at Jacksonville port in Florida before starting service on the Puerto Rico trade route. The “Taino”, built at the VT Halter Marine shipyard at Pascagoula in Mississippi, is joining its sister ship “El Coqui” to provide fast and environmentally-friendly shipping between Florida and the US territory in the Caribbean at a cost of $550 million, including port upgrades.
