Titan LNG doubles LNG bunkering speed

Titan LNG, one of the leading suppliers of LNG to the marine and industrial markets in North West Europe, has doubled the speed it can bunker a ship thanks to the innovative the T-piece.

The company loaded the Swedish M/T Fure West at the Port of Amsterdam using equipment that combines the flow from two trucks into one bunkering hose, the T-piece.

The T-piece makes the truck-to-ship bunkering process much more efficient, as it reduces the time required compared to sequential truck deliveries. The combined pumping rate reached 28 tons/hour. During the portcall six trucks in total were delivered using the T-piece.

Vessel operator Furetank’s Hans Lindgren  said: “The T-Piece reduces the bunkering time for our vessel significantly, we look forward to have Titan LNG make it available in other ports as well.”

Managing Director of Furetank, Lars Höglund said: “We really appreciate the efforts made by Titan LNG to deliver LNG to our ships. Quick and efficient bunkering operation is of the utmost importance to us. We look forward to continued cooperation with them in the future”.
