ENGIE, Mitsubishi Corp. and NYK Line have announced the launch of a new brand for their joint marketing of LNG as a marine fuel around the world: Gas4Sea.

Gas4Sea aims to lead innovation through the ship-to-ship (STS) supply of LNG for the maritime sector.

The companies concluded a framework agreement for a partnership to develop LNG bunkering services in 2014. By combining NYK's shipping expertise with ENGIE and Mitsubishi Corp.'s LNG supply portfolio and terminal access under the brand Gas4Sea, the partners will offer a cleaner, reliable, safe, and cost-effective service to shipping customers worldwide. The companies will also be able to tailor their LNG supply chains to their customers' needs.

The partners will begin operations in 4Q16, using a purpose-built LNG bunkering vessel with a 5000 m3 LNG capacity. Designed to adapt to the largest range of customers, it will be able to bunker vessels at the Belgian port of Zeebrugge, as well as other nearby ports.
