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.
