川崎海运和新加坡Fuel LNG签署LNG加注协议

据全球能源新闻2019年11月30日休斯顿报道，日本川崎海运公司(K Line)宣布，该公司日前为一艘7500立方米LNG加注船(LBV)与新加坡FueLNG Pte有限公司签署了一项船舶管理协议。

川崎海运的新闻声明说，FueLNG公司将拥有和操作这艘船，并进行所有的商业运作。

此次合作将把川崎海运丰富的船舶管理和LNG运输经验与FueLNG公司的LNG加注专业知识结合起来，其中包括迄今为止进行的160多项卡车到船舶的LNG加注业务。这将为FueLNG公司的客户提供可靠、方便和无缝的加注过程。

LBV预计将在新加坡开始LNG加注服务，新加坡是世界上最大的燃料加注港口之一。时下正在吉宝海上和海洋造船厂建造的LBV在2020年下半年交付以后，它将是第一艘在新加坡提供船对船燃料补给的LNG船。

为了使船舶公司实现对船舶温室气体(GHG)排放日益严格的全球监管，LNG作为船舶燃料以其温室气体排放少等优点被认为是替代传统重油的主要替代燃料之一。

川崎海运将根据“2050年川崎海运环境愿景”，推动其减少温室气体排放的努力，提供更环保、低负荷和高效率的物流服务。

FueLNG公司是吉宝海洋与壳牌东方石油有限公司的合资企业，致力于建设世界级LNG燃料供应网络，并鼓励采用LNG作为船用燃料。

K Line, FueLNG Team-up on LNG Bunker

Japanese shipping firm Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line) has announced that it has concluded a ship management agreement with FueLNG Pte Ltd for a 7500 m3 LNG bunkering vessel (LBV).

FueLNG will own and operate the vessel, as well as carry out all commercial operations, said K Line press statement.

The partnership will combine K Line’s extensive ship management and LNG transportation experience with FueLNG’s LNG bunkering expertise, which includes more than 160 truck-to-ship LNG bunkering operations conducted to-date. This will provide a reliable, expedient and seamless bunkering process for FueLNG’s customers.

The LBV is expected to commence LNG-bunkering service in Singapore, one of world’s largest bunkering ports, in 2H2020 after delivery from Keppel Offshore & Marine’s shipyard where it is being built. This will be the first LNG Bunker Vessel providing ship-to-ship bunkering in Singapore.

In order for shipping companies to achieve increasingly stringent global regulations on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships, LNG as marine fuel is considered one of the primary alternative fuels to replace conventional heavy fuel oil for its characteristics to emit less GHG and other air pollutants.

K Line Group will promote its effort to reduce GHG emissions in accordance with the K Line Environmental Vision 2050, providing logistics services that are more environmentally low- loaded and highly efficient.

FueLNG is a joint venture between Keppel Offshore & Marine and Shell Eastern Petroleum (Pte) Ltd and works to build a world-class LNG bunkering network and encourage the adoption of LNG as a marine fuel.
