Titan performs its first LNG bunkering operation in UK

Dutch bunker supplier Titan has marked its debut in the United Kingdom (UK) with a liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering operation in Dundee, Scotland.

On February 1, Titan’s recently chartered LNG carrier Alice Cosulich delivered 345 metric tons of LNG to the vessel Living Stone from the DEME Group.

“The seamless execution of this operation underscored the efficiency and professionalism of both the Titan crew and the crew of the receiving vessel. The collaboration between the parties involved, including the Dundee port authorities, played a pivotal role in the success of this delivery,” Titan said.

The supplier also expressed gratitude to everyone involved, noting that the venture establishes a strong foundation for future collaborations in the UK energy market.

To remind, Titan and Italian shipowner Fratelli Cosulich signed a long-term time charter agreement for LNG bunkering vessel Alice Cosulich on June 6, 2023.

The vessel has a total length of 113 meters, a molded width of 20 meters, a molded depth of 13.5 meters, a design draft of 6.35 meters and a load capacity of about 5,300 tons.

Fratelli Cosulich launched and christened Alice at China’s CIMC SOE shipyard at the beginning of 2023, and the vessel set sail from Qidong, China, towards Europe on October 27, 2023.
