Hong Kong-based ship manager Anglo-Eastern has reached a milestone of bunkering 100,000 cbm of liquefied natural gas (LNG) across its fleet of LNG dual-fuel vessels.
As disclosed, this achievement was made possible through 35 successful LNG bunkering operations. Anglo-Eastern worked with partners in the maritime industry, including Anglo American, BOCOM Leasing, and MOL Chemical Tankers.
LNG dual-fuel vessels use a cleaner-burning alternative to traditional marine fuels, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help the maritime industry transition towards a more sustainable future.
In pursuit of providing properly trained crew on board and shore managers, Anglo-Eastern initiated in-house LNG dual-fuel courses in 2021 with training solutions involving simulators and VR training.
Last year, Anglo-Eastern partnered with Finnish technology company Wärtsilä and DNV’s industry cloud platform Veracity to work on vessel compliance reporting.
Meanwhile, the ship management company also joined forces with German engine manufacturer MAN Energy Solutions (MAN ES) to work on the development of digital products and testing of engine performance.
