Milestone: First LNG Bunkering in Australia

Australia’s EVOL LNG is claiming the first LNG bunkering operation in Australia with the successful Truck-to-Ship refueling of the platform supply Siem Thiima, carried out January 23 at King Bay Supply Base near Dampier in Western Australia. The operation was carried out under an agreement with Woodside. EVOL LNG is part of the Australian conglomerate Wesfarmers. EVOL LNG Business Manager, Nick Rea, says his company sees the bunkering operation as just the beginning of LNG bunker fuel in Australia.
