Marine LNG: An Expanding Fleet of Bunker Vessels to Drive the Energy Transition

Worldwide, there are 1,000 LNG-powered ships in operation or on order(1), and the LNG fleet could reach 1,154 vessels by 2028(2). Ships are bunkered with LNG at bunkering hubs located in ports, the largest of which can be found in Singapore.

Our fleet currently has three bunker vessels designed to meet the highest technical and environmental standards, namely the Gas Agility in the port of Rotterdam, the Gas Vitality in the port of Marseille-Fos, and the Brassavola in the port of Singapore. Thanks to the charter contract signed in October 2024 with Spanish shipowner Ibaizabal, a new vessel will be added to the fleet at the end of 2026.

This Ibaizabal-owned ship will supply LNG to a wide range of vessels (containerships, tankers, large cruise ships, ferries, etc.) at our LNG bunkering hubs. This vessel could especially be deployed in Oman, where we are developing a low-carbon-intensity natural gas liquefaction plant with a capacity of one million tons per year, combined with a jetty for accommodating LNG bunker vessels.
