The partnership will assess the infrastructure, supply chain, safety framework and operational ecosystem required to support LNG bunkering at the port, GAIL said.

The initiative combines GAIL’s LNG-handling expertise, DPA’s strategic port infrastructure and DNV’s technical expertise in maritime safety and LNG bunkering.

The companies, however, have not disclosed further details about the project, including its timeline.
