LNG bunkering could become a regular sight on China’s Yangtze River by the year-end as China Changjiang Shipping pursues an ambitious plan for a massive fleet of dual-fuel vessels.
Hong Kong-based Fortune Oil, which is working with the government-controlled shipowner, is planning to build three initial LNG bunkering stations along the key inland waterway.
Earlier this month, China Changjiang also signed a strategic co-operation agreement with energy giant China National Petroleum Corporation to pursue LNG bunkering.
