The Dutch service supplier of liquefied natural gas, Titan LNG has contracted last December the Norwegian shipbroker Fearnleys to run the tender process of his third LNG bunker barge for the Amestardam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) hub.
Titan Hyperion, this is the name chosen for the 8000 cubic meter barge that will improve the security of supply of LNG in the ARA region, will be operative on 2021. The new barge follows other two LNG bunker barges from Titan LNG company: FlexFueler 001, launched in May 2019 , and FlexFueler 002, which will enter the waters of Antwerp’s port in 2020 (read more here).
The Titan Hyperion addresses the fast-growing market segment of larger ocean-going LNG fuelled vessels calling the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp region. With 135 meters in length by 19 meters in width, Titan Hyperion will be among the larger inland waterway barges trading in the ARA region.
“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” - said Ronald van Selm, CTO Titan LNG.
On top of executing larger bunker operations the barge will also serve as the mother ship to fill the FlexFueler’s, thereby enabling higher utilization of all Titan LNG’s assets.
