Anglo-Eastern has reached a significant milestone by safely bunkering 100,000 m³ of liquefied natural gas (LNG) across its fleet of LNG dual-fuel vessels. This achievement marks a major step forward in the company’s commitment to sustainable shipping practices and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
LNG dual-fuel vessels utilize a cleaner-burning alternative to traditional marine fuels, significantly cutting down on emissions and helping the maritime industry transition towards a more sustainable future. Recognizing the importance of proper training, Anglo-Eastern initiated in-house LNG dual-fuel courses in 2021, incorporating immersive training solutions such as simulators and VR training to ensure crew and shore managers are well-prepared.
This milestone was accomplished through 35 successful LNG bunkering operations, thanks to the collaborative efforts with key partners in the maritime industry, including Anglo American, BOCOM Leasing, and MOL Chemical Tankers.
Anglo-Eastern extends its gratitude to its dedicated team and partners for their firm commitment to ensuring the highest standards of safety and efficiency in the use of environmentally friendly marine fuel technology.
LNG Bunkering?
LNG bunkering is gaining increasing importance and momentum as the maritime industry intensifies its efforts to reduce environmental impact. As a cleaner alternative to traditional marine fuels, LNG significantly cuts emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter, helping to meet stringent international regulations.
The process of supplying LNG to ships for fuel, whether through truck-to-ship, ship-to-ship, or shore-to-ship transfers, is becoming more streamlined and efficient. Advances in infrastructure and technology are making LNG bunkering more accessible and faster, supporting the industry’s transition towards sustainable and eco-friendly operations. As a result, more shipping companies are adopting LNG as a fuel of choice, accelerating the shift towards greener maritime practices.
