Seaspan Energy has successfully completed the first ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operation in Canada . The operation took place in the Port of Vancouver, in the Upper Harbour area, using its bunker vessel Seaspan Lions. This event represents a key step towards more sustainable and efficient maritime logistics in the region.
Ship-to-ship LNG bunkering is an innovative solution to reduce carbon emissions in maritime transport. During the operation, an anchored tanker received the fuel from the Seaspan Lions , a ship designed for this type of safe and efficient transfer. This initiative reinforces the capacity of the Port of Vancouver to become a strategic point in the supply of alternative fuels.
Fleet expansion for ship-to-ship LNG bunkering
The company has invested in a dedicated fleet of LNG bunkering vessels to serve the West Coast of North America. It currently has three 112-metre long vessels ready to meet the growing demand for this type of fuel. With this first bunkering completed in Canada , Seaspan reinforces its commitment to the decarbonisation of the maritime sector.
LNG has established itself as one of the main alternatives to reduce emissions in global maritime transport. With increasingly strict regulations and a constantly evolving market, the infrastructure for the supply of this fuel continues to expand.
Seaspan Energy’s initiative positions Vancouver as a key port for LNG bunkering in North America , offering innovative solutions for ship owners seeking to operate with lower environmental impact.
