Danish Port Gets EU Funding for LNG Bunkering
Port of Hirtshals in Denmark will receive over EUR1 million a pilot construction of the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) tank and bunker, co-financed by EU’s TEN-T Program. The pilot project will see construction of a 500 cubic meter LNG storage tank and bunkering facility partnership with the European Commission's Innovation and Network's Executive Agency. The new facilities will provide LNG for ships both within and outside the EU, as well as regional consumers including road transport. If the pilot is successful, a larger LNG bunker will be developed to supply both marine and road transport with LNG fuel. The project's outcomes are expected to serve as best practice to other ports in northern Europe and encourage consumers to switch to LNG.
Liquiline to Construct Denmark's First LNG Bunker Terminal
Liquiline says it has entered into a contract with Fjord Line to design, construct and commission an LNG ship bunkering terminal for Fjord Line AS at the Port of Hirtshals, Denmark. The terminal will be constructed at the Port of Hirtshals, where Fjord Line operates a daily service with one of its two LNG-fuelled cruise ferries MS Stavangerfjord and MS Bergensfjord. This will be the first LNG ship bunkering terminal in Denmark. The ship bunkering terminal will be of Liquiline-design, a LiquiStation® Bulk ST2FF type. The terminal will have an on-site storage tank with a gross volume of 500m3 and a bunkering solution having a bunkering capacity of upto 400m3 of LNG per hour.
LNG America & Liquiline Join Hands in Marine Fuel Market
LNG America and Liquiline announce an agreement to jointly develop commercial offerings for LNG marine fuel markets in the North American Pacific Northwest and the transport of LNG in ISO containers to remote markets in Hawaii and Alaska. The parties to the agreement explain that each brings unique skills and experience to the joint initiative: Liquiline has pioneered the use of LNG ISO containers for LNG fuel markets in Northern Europe; LNG America is developing LNG distribution networks including America’s first Jones Act LNG bunker/shuttle vessels. Together, the joint effort will focus on the movement of LNG over long distance by ISO containers being moved by ship and the servicing of local markets by way of LNG bunker/shuttle vessels.
