First LNG bunkering operations at Polish ports

The ports of Gdynia and Gdansk bunkered Poland’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels in an effort to respond to the needs of the market influenced by restrictions resulting from emission standards.

At the Tri-City ports, a total of 73 tonnes of LNG fuel was pumped into the tanks of the Fure Valo and Ireland ships from tank trucks.

Lukasz Greinke, president of the board of the Port of Gdansk Authority, said: “Polish ports are in their heyday at the moment. We are implementing huge investment programmes, winning new contracts.
