LNG Leo Docks at Gate Terminal in Rotterdam

One of the world’s oldest sailing tankers, LNG Leo, has docked at the Dutch Gate terminal on Friday, the Port of Rotterdam said in a statement.

After a difficult start in 2013, the Rotterdam port currently handles one LNG tanker weekly. The port authority rewards seagoing LNG tankers holding the Green Award certificate by offering them a 6 percent discount on harbour dues.

The Green Award is a certificate by the independent Green Award Foundation granted to ships and shipping companies which have made extra investments in vessel and crew to improve environmental performance, safety and quality.
