CMA CGM and Edison hit LNG bunkering milestone in Italy
Italian energy company Edison and French shipping giant CMA CGM have completed the first ship-to-ship (STS) LNG bunkering of a containership in Italy.
The milestone operation was conducted in the port of Trieste, where Edison’s 30,000 cubic meter LNG carrier Ravenna Knutsen refueled the CMA CGM Salamanque, an LNG-powered boxship deployed in the Mediterranean.
Said to contribute to the gradual spread of LNG-powered fleets in Italian ports, the collaboration follows Edison’s inaugural LNG bunkering operation in the Adriatic for a cruise ship in 2024.
