LNG

Oct 10 (LNGJ) - Peninsula, the leading independent global supplier of marine energy, has been granted an LNG Bunkering Operator Licence by the Government of Gibraltar and the Gibraltar Port Authority. The company recently announced the arrival in the Strait of Gibraltar of its purpose-built “Levante LNG” supply vessel with 12,500 cubic metres capacity. The new vessel will be operated by Peninsula and will enable the company to service customers with LNG requirements in both the Gibraltar Strait and other Mediterranean ports.

   “This is very welcome news. I want to thank John Ghio, Captain of the Port of Gibraltar, and The Hon Vijay Daryanani MP, for supporting our licence application and allowing us to continue our decarbonisation,” said John A. Bassadone, Chief Executive of Peninsula. “The ability to operate our LNG vessel in the Strait of Gibraltar will bring lower-carbon solutions to vessels entering and leaving the Mediterranean. The proactivity of the Gibraltar Port Authority and the Government of Gibraltar will continue to cement the jurisdiction’s position as a leading centre for maritime excellence,” Bassadone declared.
