Japan starts ship-to-ship LNG bunkering
The first LNG bunkering vessel built in-country on Tuesday performed a transfer of LNG bunker to a car carrier operated by NYK. The tanker, Kaguya, was loaded with LNG over the weekend at the Kawagoe thermal power station
The LNG bunkering operation is backed by a joint venture comprising Toyota, JERA, NYK and K Line. The new LNG bunker vessel will play an important role in providing stable LNG fuel supply from Japanese ports
