Russian state shipping company 62,000 mt of LNG as a bunker fuel since
2018.
150th LNG bunker operation with Shell for its gas-powered Aframax tankers. In the 150th operation the tanker
Korolev Prospect received 600 mt of LNG from Shell outside
Port Canaveral using the barge
Q-LNG 4000. LNG fuelling infrastructure expands, as demonstrated by SCF and Shell with a number of firsts in North West Europe and the Baltics in 2018-2019, and more recently in the USA and Mediterranean, so we believe the business case for dual-fuelled tankers only increases further,

th marine LNG fuelling operation for SCF’s ‘Green Funnel’ Aframax tankers.
Since operations began in 2018, SCF’s ‘Green Funnel’ Aframaxes have taken over 62 000 t of marine LNG fuel from Shell and all 150 operations were performed safely without incident, injury or loss of fuel.
The 150th operation was performed by Korolev Prospect, on time charter to Chevron, receiving 600 t of marine LNG from Shell and delivered by Q-LNG 4000 outside Port Canaveral, Florida, whilst en route from Denmark to the US Gulf. Chevron is using the vessel to trial the viability of dual fuelled tankers for its future operations.
LNG fuel remains amongst the cleanest burning fuel options currently available for shipping operations. Sovcomflot calculates that since 2018, LNG fuel has helped reduce the total CO2 emissions of these six ‘Green Funnel’ tankers by over 56 000 t or by over 14% annually on average.
Russia’s largest shipping company Sovcomflot (SCF Group) has performed a landmark 150th marine LNG fuelling operation
for Green Funnel Aframax tankers with its partner, Hague-based oil and LNG major Shell.
The 150th operation was carried out by Korolev Prospect, on time charter to Chevron.
The ship received 600 tonnes of marine LNG from Shell and delivered by Q-LNG 4000 outside Port Canaveral, Florida whilst en route from Denmark to the US Gulf, according to the statement.
Aframax crude oil tanker Korolev Prospect was built in 2019 and is currently sailing under the flag of Liberia. Chevron will be using the vessel to trial the viability of dual-fuelled tankers for its future operations.
