Liquind Marine and GasCom complete milestone LNG bunkering operation

German LNG fueling network developer LIQUIND and its compatriot GasCom have delivered the 100th truck load of LNG to the Elbferry’s vessel Greenferry I.  

The LNG-powered ferry received 18 tonnes of chilled fuel from the 100th truck in the port of Brunsbüttel.

Greenferry I operates on the route between Brunsbüttel and Cuxhaven as of this year. By using LNG, up to 90 per cent less nitrogen oxide and 20 per cent less CO2 was emitted into the atmosphere. In addition, particle emissions have been almost entirely reduced and no sulphur was generated from the combustion of LNG.

LNG bunkering operations for the vessel have been regularly conducted in Cuxhaven since March 2021.

The LNG is transported by truck from the LNG terminal in Zeebrügge to Cuxhaven. Beforehand, the LNG was shipped to the terminal in Belgium from Qatar.

Moreover, LNG from renewable biogas liquefaction plants in Germany will be available soon. Both GasCom and LIQUIND said they are working on setting up their respective facilities.
