The stem was delivered to the vessel, YM Willpower, by Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) Energy, Yang Ming said.

The bunkering was conducted through simultaneous operations (SIMOPs), allowing the vessel to receive LNG while unloading cargo. The process can typically reduce the amount of time a vessel spends in port.
