Eagle LNG Partners LLC has taken delivery of its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering vessel, the Coral Favia, from the Rotterdam-based gas shipping company Anthony Veder NV.
The vessel, with a capacity of 10,000 cubic meters (353,150 cubic feet) of LNG, is the first one planned for Eagle LNG’s fleet that will provide bunkering services in the Caribbean basin, Eagle LNG said in a recent press release.
The arrival of the LNG supply vessel marks the beginning of a partnership between the two long-time pioneers in the small-scale LNG bunkering and export industry, Eagle LNG said. For nearly a decade, Eagle LNG has been producing, storing, bunkering, and exporting LNG utilizing its assets including its Jacksonville, Florida facilities into the Caribbean and other countries, the press release noted. Meanwhile, Anthony Veder owns gas carriers that it operates worldwide, while specializing in small- to mid-scale LNG carriers for transporting and bunkering LNG, the press release said.
“Eagle LNG has the highest regard for Anthony Veder’s success in bringing LNG as an economic and sustainable marine fuel around the globe. Since 2014, our interests in LNG transportation and bunkering have aligned,” Vice-President for Marine Operations at Eagle LNG Simon Dunca said.
“Anthony Veder has watched Eagle LNG’s accomplishments with great interest over the past few years and looks forward to bringing our innovations and LNG shipping knowledge for further growth in the Caribbean and other markets,” added Anthony Veder’s CEO, Jan Valkier. “Both our companies are committed to safe operations; we are particularly proud that Coral Favia has found its home port with Eagle LNG”.
“After nearly a decade of pioneering small-scale LNG solutions including pipe-to-ship LNG bunkering, Eagle LNG is excited for this next logical step in expanding its LNG supply solutions portfolio,” Eagle LNG president Sean Lalani said. “Having multiple new projects coming on-stream in the next several months, Eagle LNG is poised for exponential growth and the addition of this new LNG supply and bunkering capability enhances Eagle LNG’s core value proposition of an assured, secure supply chain bringing cost savings and energy transition solutions to our customers.”
Eagle LNG said that its partnership with Anthony Veder will allow for flexibility in ownership, chartering, and operation of various LNG assets as the LNG bunkering market develops.
