The company plans to deliver liquefied natural gas (LNG) and mass-balanced liquid biomethane (LBM) at “key ports” in Northwest Europe.

The physical supply, including last-mile delivery, will be managed through its new arm, Bunker One LNG. While the specific ports have not yet been disclosed, Bunker One LNG is currently working to secure LNG bunker permits for the chosen ports.

For its bunkering operations, Bunker One LNG has chartered the 10,000-cbm LNG bunker vessel, Coral Fraseri, from Dutch shipping firm Anthony Veder.

“The vessel will undergo a regular class renewal at the end of 2024, during which several modifications will be carried out to enhance her capabilities as an LNG bunker vessel,” Michael Behmerburg, managing director of Bunker One LNG said.

These modifications will enable the vessel to bunker a wide range of seagoing vessels, including tankers, container ships and car carriers, he added.
