The first bunkering of a vessel with synthetic LNG (S-LNG) has been carried out in Germany.
In the pioneering operation, Elbdeich Reederei's 1,036-teu feeder containership ElbBlue (ex-Wes Amelie, built 2011) was bunkered with 20 tonnes of S-LNG. Also referred to as synthetic natural gas (SNG), the fuel was delivered by gas-fuelled truck in Brunsbuttel.
