Spanish port of Denia recently hosted its first liquefied natural gas bunkering operation supplying the fuel to Balearia’s ferry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The operation took place last Wednesday at the port located in Spain’s Alicante province, south of Valencia.<\/p>\n

Balearia’s converted ferry Bahama Mama bunkered the fuel via a truck-to-ship method involving two ESK tankers, according to the Spanish ferry operator.<\/p>\n

This was not only the first LNG bunkering operation for Denia but for any port the Valencian government owns, Balearia said.<\/p>\n

Puerto Natura, a Balearia company that manages the Denia maritime station, has previously received an approval to conduct LNG bunkering operations.<\/p>\n

The Bahama Mama<\/a> ferry started operations on June 21 following the completion of retrofitting works at Gibraltar\u2019s Gibdock shipyard.<\/p>\n

The ferry now features a dual-fuel propulsion and two 280-cbm LNG tanks enabling it to sail about 750 nautical miles.<\/p>\n

Currently, the ship operates on the ferry route connecting Denia with Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca.<\/p>\n

The vessel joins Balearia’s growing fleet of LNG-powered vessels as the shipping company is looking to reduce emissions.<\/p>\n

Bahama Mama is the fifth LNG-powered ferry in the company’s fleet and the third vessel that has been adapted to be able to sail on LNG.<\/p>\n

Balearia expects to take delivery of another retrofitted ferry, Sicilia<\/a>, in July. <\/p>\n

The ferry operator plans to have a fleet of nine LNG-powered vessels by the end of 2021 with a total investment of 380 million euros ($428.9m).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
