Total to supply bunker via the Port of Ouistreham in France


Total Marine Fuels Global Solutions (TMFGS) is set to supply LNG bunkering to Brittany Ferries from the Port of Ouistreham in France.

To address the lack of LNG infrastructure in the ports served by Brittany Ferries, TMFGS has partnered with two other French companies to implement a supply chain using ISO containers for LNG bunkering.

An agreement with Dunkerque LNG covers the construction of an automated truck loading dock where the containers will be filled with LNG. An agreement with Groupe Charles André (CGA) covers the supply and transportation of ISO containers equipped with geolocation trackers and pressure sensors. Transported by truck from the LNG terminal of Dunkirk to the Port of Ouistreham, the containers will be lifted aboard the cruise ferry using onboard cranes, to supply a fixed LNG storage tank at the rear of the superstructure. Once empty, the containers will be offloaded at the next call at Ouistreham and replaced by full containers.

Managing Director of TMFGS, Olivier Jouny said: “The agreement with Brittany Ferries is a landmark one — our first contract to supply LNG bunker. In addition, the work carried out with Dunkerque LNG and Groupe Charles André has made it possible to supply the LNG by developing a safe, innovative logistics solution thanks in particular to the digitalization of container tracking. We are proud of these agreements, which mark a milestone in the growth of LNG in France.”
