Molgas, a prominent European small-scale LNG player, has marked a significant milestone by completing its inaugural LNG bunkering operation in Germany. Teaming up with Norwegian shipping company UECC, Molgas orchestrated the first-of-its-kind truck-to-ship bunkering operation on March 17th at the port of Cuxhaven.
During this operation, UECC’s LNG-powered hybrid Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC), the Auto Achieve, was fueled with 100 metric tons of LNG sourced from multiple trucks. This successful venture underscores Molgas commitment to expanding its LNG bunkering business, following recent operations in Belgium.
Prior to its endeavors in Belgium, Molgas, headquartered in Madrid and owned by French private equity firm InfraVia Capital Partners, concluded its maiden LNG bunkering operation in France. Moreover, Molgas has bolstered its presence in the LNG market by acquiring a 45 percent stake in Dutch LNG supplier Titan, with potential for further investment.
