Gasum has bunkered the first LNG-fuelled cruise vessel to be built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique in La Rochelle, France.
Significance: The LNG delivery, which took place on September 10, was the first to be performed at the Atlantic coast port.
Timeline: It comes just under a year since the company's maiden LNG delivery in France, on September 24, 2021, when Ponant's newbuild polar explorer was bunkered in Le Havre.
Gasum supported Chantiers in the technical preparation of the delivery at La Rochelle, including obtaining the relevant permits and authorisations.
What Gasum said: The Finnish firm said last week's refuelling operation was a new milestone in the extension of its network which underlined its ambition to grow geographically, whilst also providing key technical support to clients where required.
What Chantiers said: Chantiers' General Manager, Laurent Castaing, stated that the firm's LNG-fuelled newbuild program showed its capacity to "embrace new technologies and to remain at the forefront of the shipbuilding industry."
