With this new service, Elengy is offering 50 loading slots per year for loading small scale LNG vessels of a capacity up to 40 000 m3, under maximum conditions of safety and reliability.
The new Fos Cavaou service is well adapted to customer needs, ensuring optimal scheduling flexibility at a competitive price.
The small scale LNG vessels loaded at Fos Cavaou terminal will supply the LNG-powered container ships, ferries and cruise ships that the Port of Marseille-Fos is preparing to welcome in the coming months.
As a result of its location, the Fos Cavaou LNG terminal can also become the privileged source of supply of many surrounding ports in the Western Mediterranean for bunkering purpose.
LNG is a sustainable, reliable, and ready available solution for the energy transition challenges of the maritime transport. Using LNG as a maritime fuel will reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by a quarter, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 90% and sulfur (SOx) and particulate emissions by almost 100% compared to current oil-based marine fuels. This service is a concrete response to sustain the Marseille Fos Port’s strategy ‘A green port serving the blue economy.’
