UECC and Titan partner on bio-LNG bunkering operations

In the Netherlands, Norwegian roll-on/roll-off shipping line United European Car Carriers (UECC) and Dutch supplier of fuels Titan Clean Fuels have decided to collaborate on a series of major liquefied biomethane (LBM) bunkering operations in the Port of Zeebrugge.

According to the report, Titan plans to bunker ISCC-EU certified mass-balanced LBM, also known as bio-LNG, to all of UECC’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual fuel car carriers this month.

These pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) will use 100% LBM as part of UECC’s ‘Green Gas Month’, an initiative that supports its wider ‘Sail for Change’ sustainability program, the report added.

Three of the ships also feature battery hybrid technology to further enhance their environmental performance.

“Through the use of biomethane, ‘Green Gas Month’, and ‘Sail for Change’ more broadly, we are providing our customers with a great springboard to further their own decarbonization strategies. With progressive automakers focusing on cleaner cars, we expect them to want to reduce their scope three emissions and ship those cars sustainably – which is what we can deliver in collaboration with Titan right now,” Daniel Gent, Energy & Sustainability Manager at UECC, said.
