Owned by Ibaizabal, the new LNG bunkering ship will supply LNG to a wide range of vessels, including container ships, tankers, large cruise liners, and ferries, at TotalEnergies’ LNG bunkering centers.
Currently, under construction at the Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding yard in China, the new bunkering vessel is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2026. It will join TotalEnergies’ existing fleet of three LNG bunkering ships: Gas Agility, based in the port of Rotterdam; Gas Vitality, operating in the port of Marseille; and Brassavola, located in the port of Singapore.
