Energy firm TotalEnergies is expanding its global presence in bunkering hubs, having today (10th Oct) signed a charter contract with shipowner Ibaizabal for a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunker vessel.
Under terms of the contract, TotalEnergies will supply the Spanish business with a vessel with a capacity of 18,600m3. The vessel will supply LNG to containerships, tanks, cruise ships, and ferries at TotalEnergies’ bunkering hubs.
The vessel is currently being constructed by Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding in China and will be delivered by the end of 2026. It will expand TotalEnergies current fleet of three deployed LNG bunker vessels.
Louise Tricoire, Senior Vice-President of Aviation and Marine Fuels at TotalEnergies, said, “With new LNG-fuelled vessels coming on stream at a rapid pace, we are committed to playing our part in responding to the sector’s increasing demand for this fuel, which can help global shipping meet its decarbonisation ambitions.”
