Khalifa Port conducts first ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operation
AD Ports Group hosted its first ship-to-ship (STS) liquified natural gas (LNG) bunkering operation at its flagship deep-water Khalifa Port.
The STS bunkering was part of a simultaneous operation, in which the container vessel MSC Thais received LNG fuel from the dedicated LNG bunker vessel Green Zeebrugge.
Furthermore, the operation was executed in accordance with international best practices and regulatory standards, that include LNG bunkering protocols and guidelines set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators (SIGTTO).
By adhering to the highest safety and environmental standards, AD Ports Group and Monjasa are ensuring that shipowners have reliable access to a diversified fuel mix that supports their decarbonisation objectives.
…said Captain Saif Al Mheiri, CEO of Abu Dhabi Maritime and Chief Sustainability Officer, AD Ports Group.
As stated, AD Ports Group and Monjasa will continue expanding LNG bunkering services across the Group’s commercial ports in Abu Dhabi, including cruise vessels at Zayed Port, while offering a fuel portfolio that includes Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO), Marine Gas Oil (MGO), and High-Sulfur Fuel Oil (HSFO).
