Hong Kong sees first LNG bunker delivery to PCTC

The LNG-capable Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) vessel, AICC Fenghuang, took on around 2,600 cbm of LNG in about six hours before sailing for the Mediterranean.

CLPe, the Hong Kong-based energy company wholly owned by CLP Holdings, carried out the ship-to-ship operation in partnership with CNOOC (Shenzhen) International Marine Clean Energy (CNOOC).

The fuel was supplied by CNOOC’s Haiyang Shiyou 301, which CLPe describes as the world’s largest LNG bunkering and transport vessel. The PCTC is owned by Anhui Port and Shipping Group.

CLPe and CNOOC began working together last year and have since completed several LNG bunkering operations in Hong Kong waters. In June 2025, the two companies carried out Hong Kong’s first ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operation for a large container vessel, CLPe said.

This year, the two companies have also bunkered a very large crude carrier (VLCC) and a bulk carrier in Hong Kong waters.
