Seaspan supplied an undisclosed amount of LNG to the Plumeria Leader - a pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) operated by Japanese NYK Line.

Seaspan used its LNG bunker tanker Seaspan Baker.

Seaspan operates three LNG bunker vessels along the West Coast of North America and has previously bunkered container ships, car carriers and bulk carriers in Vancouver and Nanaimo.

Earlier this month, Seaspan completed the first LNG bunkering at Canada’s Port of Nanaimo, supplying the Eukor-chartered car carrier Lake Saint Anne. Last month, it conducted the first LNG bunkering operation of a cruise ship at the Port of Vancouver, refuelling Silversea’s Silver Nova before its voyage to Alaska.
