TotalEnergies' newest LNG bunkering vessel hits the water

Published on

China's Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding launched a new LNG bunkering vessel on Tuesday, July 29.

The vessel will be a near identical sister of the LNG bunkering vessels Gas Agility and Gas Vitality and will also be operated under charter by TotalEnergies. Ownership of the vessel will remain with Spanish shipping company Ibaizabal.

Upon completion, the vessel will have a length of 135.9 metres, a beam of 24.5 metres, and a total cargo capacity of 18,600 cubic metres.

TotalEnergies said earlier that this new vessel will expand the company’s global presence in bunkering hubs. In particular, this additional vessel will likely be deployed in Oman, where TotalEnergies is developing the Marsa LNG project with the objective to provide LNG to the shipping sector in the Persian Gulf region.

The bunkering ship will supply LNG to a wide range of vessels such as containerships, tankers, large cruise ships, and ferries at TotalEnergies’ LNG bunkering hubs.

The vessel is scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2026.
