FRENCH shipping giant cma CGM and TotalEnergies have launched Marseille's inaugural ship-to-ship Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) bunkering in the Port of Marseille Fos, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The 15,000-TEU LNG-powered CMA CGM Bali deployed on the MEX 1 service, connecting Asia and South Europe has been refuelled by TotalEnergies' Gas Vitality, the first LNG bunker vessel based in France
She took on 6,000 cubic metres of LNG, by means of a ship-to-ship transfer alongside the Eurofos container terminal, while the containership carried out cargo operations simultaneously. Gas Vitality is TotalEnergies' second chartered LNG bunker vessel and owned by Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL).
In November of 2017, CMA CGM chairman and chief CEO Rodolphe Saade decided to make his company first shipowner to equip its flagships, 23,000-TEU vessels with engines using liquefied natural gas (LNG).
CMA CGM has chosen TotalEnergies as part of a partnership to supply gas in Rotterdam, Singapore and Marseille.
Marseille is the first LNG bunkering hub in France for shipping, for all the Mediterranean and South Europe area, and CMA CGM
