Malaysia’s state-owned oil and gas company Petronas announced it successfully conducted the first LNG bunkering operation at the Pintu Gedung anchorage, Port Klang, Malaysia.
The operation enabled MV Solar Roma, a Liberian Tanker en route to the Mediterranean, to complete its LNG bunker transfer of 865 m3, via the LNG Bunker Vessel (LBV) – MV Avenir Advantage, in less than 12 hours upon its arrival at the anchorage.
In line with our aspiration to be a one-stop marine fuel solutions partner, we are pleased to have the support of port authorities to offer cleaner fuel for the marine industry,
…said Head of PETRONAS Marine Emry Mohd Tamrin, commenting on the milestone.
The 7,500 cubic meter MV Avenir Advantage is the first dedicated LBV, serving operations in Southeast Asia and used to promote LNG as a cleaner marine fuel in Pasir Gudang, Johor.
