First ever lng bunkering in Antwerp port

The chemical tanker Ramelia, sailing since September 2019 for the Swedish Gothia Alliance (handled by Vopak Agencies), was bunkered Tuesday morning off Quay 512 at the jetty of SEA-Tank Terminal in the Kanaaldok. The lng fuel was delivered to the vessel by the lng bunker ship ‘FlexFueler 001’ of Dutch company Titan LNG. That company has been licensed by Port of Antwerp to deliver lng in the Port of Antwerp since 2019. Titan LNG is the market leader in bunkering lng to small and large lng-fuelled ships. The company has been supplying ships that want to use lng as fuel via trucks for years and since 2019 also by bunker ship. Later this year, the ‘FlexFueler 002’ will be christened. That will supply shipping throughout the Antwerp port area with lng, with its permanent base at Kaai 526.
