The vessels will be retrofitted to ensure suitable LNG bunkering capabilities, enabling them to both transport and bunker LNG, liquefied biomethane (LBM), and in the longer-term hydrogen derived e-methane (e-LNG).<\/p>\n Both sister vessels have a cargo capacity of 12,000 ccbm and measure 152 x 19.8m. The vessels will join Titan\u2019s fleet in March this year. They will operate in the Mediterranean and Northwestern Europe and will cater for increased demand for LNG and LBM (bio-LNG) in these regions.<\/p>\n The vessels and the retrofit are financed by Sole Shipping Group through a long-term bareboat charter leasing structure. Sole Shipping Group is a major European provider of financial leasing structures. Titan was advised on this transaction by Endegeest Consulting BV.<\/p>\n \u201cRetrofitting these ships so that they can trade and bunker LNG, LBM, and in the longer-term hydrogen derived e-methane, offers Titan even more flexibility in its clean fuel operations,” said Douwe de Jong, fleet development director, Titan. “The team is currently specifying the upgrades and finding a suitable shipyard for the retrofit work.\u201d<\/p>\n The announcement of this vessel acquisition follows the recent news from Robert Habeck, vice chancellor of Germany and a member of the German green party, that Germany has granted a total of \u20ac62 million to a partnership of three companies, including Titan, for the construction of the Titan Krios new build LNG bunker vessels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n maritime professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" January 31, 2023 The 12,000 cbm Seapeak Vision, due to join Titan’s fleet in March 2023.
