Avenir LNG Limited commences deliveries of LNG to TT-Line ferries in the Port of Trelleborg
Avenir Marine Limited has started the delivery of LNG to TT-Line in the Port of Trelleborg, Sweden. On April 15th and 16th, the chilled fuel was bunkered into TT-Line’s RoPax ferries “Nils Holgersson” and “Peter Pan” in the Swedish port.
The two operations were performed consecutively by the “Avenir Ascension”, which has a total LNG tank capacity of 7,500cbm. Trelleborg becomes the third port that Avenir has served TT-Line’s LNG/BioLNG requirements, after already completing operations in Pengerang, Malaysia and Lubeck, Germany.
Commenting on the operations, Jan Schubert, Commercial Director – LNG bunkering of Avenir LNG Limited, said:
“It’s good to see that the network of LNG & bio-LNG bunker locations is growing and that TT-Line and Avenir have been able to establish a partnership, which is now extended to other locations as well. Furthermore, the successful deliveries show that the use of LNG as fuel is growing and shipping companies all over the world have started the transition to make shipping more sustainable.”
Originated in 2018 and backed by blue-chip sponsors, Avenir LNG is a fully integrated small-scale LNG supplier at the forefront of one of the fastest growing sectors of alternative fuel distribution. Increasing demand for cleaner-burning fuels has resulted in record high figures for the import and transportation of LNG, with demand up 8.5% year-on-year. Bloomberg predicts that by 2030, 450MMtpa of LNG will be required globally, an increase from 308MMtpa in 2018, driven largely by Asia accounting for 86% of the total growth. Through full supply-chain integration, our mission is to provide small-scale LNG to off-grid industries, for power generation, and through the marine bunkering and truck refuelling markets.
