LNG

April 25 (LNGJ) - The Port of Barcelona has a new addition to the maritime bunkering fuel offering such as LNG as Peninsula, the leading independent global marine supplier, has introduced the port to the bunkering vessel “Aalborg”, an IMO II chemical tanker dedicated to sustainable fuel distribution in the Western Mediterranean.

    “The importance of having a biofuel supply vessel permitted to supply up to 100 percent of bio component, will provide Port of Barcelona users with a solution to decarbonise their activity and to fully comply with EU regulations,” said Lluís Salvadó, the President of the Port of Barcelona. “Barcelona, as part of its Energy Transition Plan, is committed to transitional and alternative fuels such as LNG, green methanol or green ammonia, as well as biofuels, which will help to reduce the maritime sector’s carbon footprint,” stated Salvadó.

Peninsula, the leading global independent marine energy supplier founded to fill a gap in the Gibraltar market for bunkering services and benefitting from the assistance of a refinery across the bay in Algeciras in Spain, has fixed its first Biofuel deal for one of the world’s largest shipping companies from China.
