Titan LNG has actually gotten Fearnleys AS, a Norwegian shipbroker, to run the tender procedure for a newbuild LNGBunker Barge The technological as well as financial expediency analysis has actually been wrapped up by the Titan LNG newbuilding group.

The Titan Hyperion will certainly be the third barge that the independent LNG shelter distributor Titan LNG will certainly run. This will certainly cause enhanced safety and security of the LNG supply in the ARA area.

Powered by LNG, the barge will certainly bring 8000 cubic meters of LNG to solution LNG sustained ships as well as will certainly be functional in 2021.

The barge gauges 135 meters in size by 19 meters in size as well as will certainly be amongst the bigger inland river barges trading in the ARA area. The Titan Hyperion addresses the fast-growing market section of bigger ocean-going LNG sustained vessels calling the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp area.

Ronald van Selm, CTO Titan LNG: “In the design, we have incorporated four years of lessons learned from LNG bunkering, including the FlexFueler barges and the largest LNG bunkering transfers using small scale LNG carriers in the world. Our design will enable Titan LNG to efficiently, safely, and cost effectively deliver larger parcels of the cleanest marine fuel. The Titan Hyperion will be ideal for servicing large tankers, cruise, container and offshore vessels.”

The Titan Hyperion will certainly mirror the reliable standard bunkering supply chain as well as is the outcome of considerable communications with clients that determined the demand for even more financial LNG bunkering options than the seagoing (shelter) ships in operation today. On top of performing bigger shelter procedures the barge will certainly additionally act as the flagship to load the FlexFueler’s, thus allowing greater use of all Titan LNG’s properties. Owners as well as charterers can feel confident that this reduced CAPEX as well as OPEX barge brings sustaining competition to LNG bunkering versus IFO 0,5% as well as MGO.

The name Hyperion is originated from Greek Mythology as he was just one of the Titan’s. They were the children of Uranus (skies) as well as Gaia (planet) that lowered the old Gods, equally as LNG will certainly reduce making use of oil-based delivery gas.
