First STS LNG bunkering in Malaysia
The package, purchased by Titan LNG, was delivered to the LNG-powered vessel, Siem Aristotle, on 9 November and builds on last year’s Singaporean and Indonesian operations, servicing the world’s largest crane vessel, the Sleipnir owned by Heerema.
“We are very happy with the project and expect more deliveries to other customers to be delivered in the same structure,” said Michael Schaap, Titan LNG’s commercial director marine. “Being a supplier ourselves puts us in the position to assist our customers and suppliers to get the best deal, helping both sides to optimise the LNG supply process and add technical knowhow for speedy and efficient compatibility checks,” he added.
Petronas Marine’s LNG bunker barge, MV Avenir Advantage, recently came under their long-term charter and has delivered around 3,000m3 of LNG to the Siem Aristotle. The new barge can also be used as feeder vessel, servicing its customers in the region through its Regasification Terminal Sungai Udang, Pengerang and Johor facilities.
The vessel will now travel to Europe where it will go on charter and join its sister vessel, Siem Confucius.
