Regulatory News:
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and its partner
CMA CGM, have launched Marseilles’ inaugural ship-to-containership
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) bunkering operation in the Port of
Marseille Fos, Southern France.
CMA CGM BALI, a 15,000 TEU1 LNG-powered containership is
deployed on the MEX 1 service, connecting Asia and South Europe.
She has been refuelled by TotalEnergies’ Gas Vitality, the first
LNG bunker vessel based in France, with around 6,000m3 of LNG, by
means of a ship-to-ship transfer alongside the Eurofos container
terminal, while the containership carried out cargo operations
simultaneously. The Gas Vitality is TotalEnergies' second chartered
LNG bunker vessel and owned by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd (MOL).
This entire operation underlines a solid collaborative teamwork
across the French maritime industry including the involvement of
local port authorities to enable the vessels’ safe operatorship,
and the commitments of all the parties to support the growing role
of LNG in the shipping’s energy transition.
“TotalEnergies is delighted to successfully complete Marseille’s
first LNG bunkering operation of a containership via the Gas
Vitality. Her deployment underscores the Company’s commitment to
support the French port’s ambition to be an LNG bunkering hub for
the Mediterranean region,” said Jérôme Leprince-Ringuet,
Vice-President Marine Fuels at TotalEnergies. “This landmark
operation also demonstrates our continued support to the growing
role of LNG in shipping’s energy transition. In line with
TotalEnergies’ climate ambition, we will continue to work
hand-in-hand with our industry partners to develop and scale up
new, lower-carbon and ultimately, zero-carbon fuel solutions for
shipping.”
TotalEnergies supports the growing role of LNG in shipping’s
energy transition
TotalEnergies has actively invested in LNG infrastructure,
critical to support its shipping customers’ uptake of LNG as a
marine fuel.
Since November 2020, TotalEnergies has been operating the
18,600-m³ Gas Agility at the Port of Rotterdam and completed the
first LNG bunkering operation of the CMA CGM JACQUES SAADE, the
largest dual-fuel LNG-powered containership in the world. Together
with the Company’s second-chartered LNG bunker vessel, the Gas
Vitality, both vessels demonstrate its commitment to make LNG
bunkering capabilities readily available in key European hubs. In
2022, TotalEnergies will also commence operations of a third LNG
bunker vessel to serve Singapore, where the Company has been
awarded a LNG bunker supplier license for a five-year term starting
January 1st, 2022.
