Peninsula has been granted an LNG Bunkering Operator License by the Government of Gibraltar and the Gibraltar Port Authority.
The company recently announced the arrival of its purpose-built, 12,500m3 Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) supply vessel, Levante LNG, to the Strait of Gibraltar. The new vessel will be operated by Peninsula and will enable the company to service customers with LNG requirements in both the Gibraltar Strait and other Mediterranean ports.
John A. Bassadone, CEO of Peninsula stated that the ability to operate the LNG vessel in the Strait of Gibraltar will bring lower-carbon solutions to vessels entering and leaving the Mediterranean.
The LNG-propelled vessel orderbook is looking very healthy and we want to offer solutions now to those customers taking a proactive step towards decarbonisation. As the gateway to the Mediterranean, the Port of Gibraltar will be an integral piece of the decarbonisation puzzle.
