Anew Climate and Seaspan Energy have completed their first ship-to-ship loading operation of bio-LNG in the Port of Long Beach, California, following their strategic partnership announcement last month to deliver the renewable fuel at scale.

The companies said they bunkered a commercial container vessel using renewable natural gas sourced from a Morrow Energy facility with a certified carbon intensity of 7.74 grams of CO2e per megajoule of energy under the ISCC framework.

The operation served as what the companies describe as a proof-of-concept for the scalable deployment of bio-LNG in commercial shipping.

"This pilot is just the beginning," remarked Harly Penner, president of Seaspan Energy. "We're proud to collaborate with Anew Climate to forge a new path for lower-carbon marine fuel. Together, we're demonstrating that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand."

The loading builds on Anew Climate's previous activities in the sector, including what is claimed to be the United States' first bio-LNG fuelling of a marine vessel in 2021 and the launch of a carbon-neutral platform supply vessel in 2022.

"We're thrilled to mark this milestone, which highlights Anew's leadership in accelerating the adoption of renewable fuels in the maritime sector," commented Andy Brosnan, president of Anew Climate Low Carbon Fuels. "Anew continues to take affirmative steps to expand opportunities for shippers to deploy bio-LNG across the globe, and together with Seaspan, we're making a real impact by reducing maritime emissions today."

Seaspan Energy is part of Seaspan Marine, a group of Canadian companies involved in ship assist, coastal and deep-sea transportation, ferry services, and fuel bunkering on the West Coast of North America. Seaspan subsidiary Marine Petrobulk has been supplying bunker fuel to vessels in Vancouver, New Westminster, Victoria and Nanaimo since 1980.

Anew Climate is a provider of climate solutions with a portfolio of low and negative carbon fuels. The company is majority owned by TPG Rise, TPG's global impact investing platform.
