Port of Antwerp awards first 'fine dust' rebate

To qualify for the discount, ships must demonstrate that they are using either scrubbers or LNG propulsion on board at least 24 hours before the call and at least 24 hours after the call in Antwerp. Chemgas Shipping’s gas tanker ‘Sefarina’ is equipped with a dual fuel engine that can run on both gas oil and LNG. Chemgas, part of Germany’s Reederei Jaegers, has opted to use LNG as fuel when renewing its fleet. The ‘Sefarina’, delivered earlier this year, recently experienced a first as it became the first ocean-going vessel to bunker LNG in Moerdijk.
