EVOL LNG to Bunker LNG at Fremantle Port in Australian
• August 15, 2016
In an Australian first, EVOL LNG has been approved by Fremantle Ports to bunker LNG, providing access to the cleaner shipping fuel alternative for LNG-powered marine vessels visiting Fremantle Port.
It comes after Woodside announced in April that it had signed a five-year charter contract with Norwegian company Siem Offshore Australia to deliver Australia’s first LNG-powered marine support vessel next year.
The availability of LNG as a bunker fuel, which will be delivered from EVOL LNG’s Kwinana LNG plant, will pave the way for LNG-fueled ships to visit the port, and provide the option for local ferries and workboats to switch to the lower-cost, lower-emission fuel.
