DNV to conduct risk studies for German LNG bunker station

摘要

Gasnor and Brunsbuttel Port are planning to build an LNG bunker station at Brunsbuttel, Germany. DNV has been contracted to conduct the risk studies of the project, which will be the basis for the authorities' approval of the project. With this important step Gasnor and Brunsbuttel Port are leading the way in offering LNG fuel at Brunsbuttel and the Northern German area, at the strategic location of the crossing of the river Elbe and the Kiel-Canal. In the context of generally increasing demands in environmentally friendly shipping, eco-friendly fuel is a key aspect. LNG is an environmentally-friendly energy source for ships, and it has already been in use for quite some years. The planned LNG bunker station will provide a safe, reliable and cost-effective way for fuelling sea vessels and barges with LNG.
