Shell has completed the first ship-to-ship liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering at Port of Rotterdam. Sovcomflot vessel Gagarin Prospect was refuelled by specialist bunker vessel WinGD. It was the first fuelling operation since Shell and the Russian company signed a LNG fuel supply agreement in 2017. The WinGD can hold nearly 6,500 cubic metres of LNG fuel and has been built to work with customers in ports throughout Europe. Shell is also set to provide fuel for the first ever LNG-powered cruise ships next year, after securing an agreement with operator Carnival Corporation.
