A KEY piece of the LNG bunkering puzzle in the US southeast is now in place, following the delivery of the world's first LNG supply articulated tug barge (ATB) unit, Q-LNG 4000, reports London's Riviera Maritime Media.
Under long-term charter to Shell North America LNG, Q-LNG 4000 performed its first ship-to-ship (STS) transfer in Jacksonville, Florida, refuelling dual-fuel, pure car truck carrier (PCTC) SIEM Aristotle on its maiden voyage between Emden, Germany and North America.
For the voyage to the US, SIEM Aristotle bunkered some 800 tonnes of LNG and loaded 4,800 cars for North America. Under charter to the Volkswagen, the Liberia-flagged SIEM Aristotle and its sister SIEM Confucius are super-eco, LNG-powered PCTCs, equipped with 12,600-kW dual-fuel marine engines with direct injection and exhaust gas after treatment from MAN Energy Solutions.
Each ship has two 1,800-cubic metre fuel tanks, allowing them to cover the entire distance with the fuel stored in Europe.
