While the first LNG supply from ship to ship was being carried out in Italy in the port of La Spezia to supply the cruise ship Costa Smeralda, Japan and Malaysia also started these supply methods, which are rapidly expanding globally.
ona, the first of two new LNG-powered ships ordered by Carnival Corporation for the cruise brand P&O Cruises, has been delivered to the British shipping company after successfully completing numerous technical and nautical tests in the North Sea.
In addition to the many innovations in the development of direct uses of LNG in Italy, there are two other milestones: the first production of bioLNG and the first refuelling of a truck. The first truck refuelling operation took place on Thursday 5 November at the Vulcangas service station in Rimini thanks to the start of industrial production of bio LNG at the Lucra96 biogas liquefaction plant in Lodi, Lombardy.
The Ham Group, pursuing its commitment to achieve the objective of zero emissions of methane into the atmosphere, which is harmful to the environment and climate-changing, has developed an LNG dispensing "gun" for vehicles, which does not generate emissions when it is disconnected from the connection with the tanks.
Sunday 25 October 2020 is a day that will remain in the history of the development of direct uses of LNG in our country. In fact, in the port of La Spezia in Liguria, the first supply of liquid methane to a large tanker vessel took place successfully. The ship supplied was the Costa Smeralda, flagship of the Costa Crociere fleet, the largest in the world using LNG.
