Shell to supply LNG as bunkers to Siem newbuildings

Energy major Shell has inked a key long-term supply agreement with Siem Car Carriers to supply LNG as bunkers to fuel a pair of car carriers transporting vehicles for Volkswagen Group from Europe to North America.

Shell, which last week named its first purpose-built LNG bunker vessel in Rotterdam, said it plans to fuel the two Siem newbuildings, which deliver in 2019, in northwest Europe and at a second unamed supply point in the US.
