When operating from the Port of Long Beach, these ‘Ohana Class’
vessels will become one of the first natural gas-powered
containerships to call on the U.S. West Coast and the first to
service Hawaii. Both ships will surpass the International Maritime
Organization (IMO) 2030 standards for ocean vessels with zero
sulfur emissions, a 90 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide and 25
percent reduction in carbon dioxide as compared to liquid fuel
oil.
M/V George III and M/V Janet Marie are the two LNG-powered
container ships that will join Pasha Hawaii’s fleet serving Hawaii.
The George III is expected to begin operation in Q4 2021 and the
Janet Marie shortly thereafter. Ship construction is supported by
Clean Energy’s Cryogenics division, which will perform tank
conditioning and first LNG bunkering at Keppel AmFELS’ Brownsville,
Texas shipyard.
“Named after my late parents, the M/V George III and the Janet
Marie were specifically designed to utilize the latest in
technologies to construct clean fuel ships that we hope will set a
precedent for environmental sustainability within our shipping
industry,” said George Pasha, IV, president and CEO of Pasha
Hawaii. “These ships represent our commitment to our customers and
the environmental health of both Hawaii and Southern California.
Partnering with Clean Energy and World Fuel Services brings us one
step closer to achieving this goal.”
The LNG that will power the Pasha Hawaii container ships will
come from the Clean Energy plant in Boron, CA. Clean Energy is
expanding the Boron LNG plant by adding a production train that
increases production by 50 percent. For LNG delivery, World Fuel
Services has contracted with West Coast Clean Fuels, LLC to
transport and load the LNG into the ship fuel tanks. West Coast
Clean Fuels provides end-to-end supply chain solutions for
low-carbon fuels, such as LNG and hydrogen, to marine
transportation operators on the U.S. West Coast.
“Pasha Hawaii has quickly become a leader in sustainability
shipping with these new ships powered by LNG. The environmental
benefits will result in the immediate reduction of air pollutants
around the ports in Hawaii and Southern California,” said Andrew J.
Littlefair, president and CEO, Clean Energy.
“World Fuel Services congratulates Pasha Hawaii and Clean Energy
in their commitment to developing new LNG ships and supply.
Together, we have made a significant step in providing cleaner
marine fuels that positively impacts the marine industry and
environment,” said Michael Kasbar, chairman and CEO, World Fuel
Services Corporation. “As demand for cleaner fuel increases, World
Fuel will continue to provide our customers with sourcing and
logistics solutions to meet these requirements.”
