Shell shows off LNG bunker vessel to clean up shipping fuel
Shell has released a video showing off its new LNG bunker vessel capable of refuelling all sorts of ships, from small coastal vessels to transatlantic cruise liners and container ships with cleaner burning LNG, replacing traditional bunker fuel, which is extremely polluting. New regulations are pushing ship owners to switch from traditional bunker fuel to cleaner options such as diesel and LNG, but the infrastructure to scale this up is currently lacking. Shell's new 6,500 cubic metre ship, which it claims will be the world's largest seagoing LNG bunker vessel, aims to rectify that.

The 6500 m3 vessel will use a specialised loading arm, and will be capable of fuelling 1000 cubes of LNG per hour. It will be able to provide bunkering services to a range of ships, from small coastal vessels to large transatlantic ships.

Shell claims that it will be the largest seagoing LNG bunker vessel with high manoeuvrability, and will help open up a new market in the marine transport industry.
