The Cma Cgm Jacques Saadé, the world's largest containership
powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has completed her first LNG
bunkering with Total's (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) LNG bunker
vessel, the Gas Agility, on November 13(th) 2020 at the Port of
Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The 23,000 TEU(1) containership
received around 17,300 m(3) of LNG, making it the largest LNG
bunkering operation to ever take place.
Safe and efficient bunkering operation was performed by the Gas
Agility at the Rotterdam World Gateway terminal by means of a
ship-to-ship transfer, while the Cma Cgm Jacques Saadé carried out
cargo operations simultaneously. The supply of LNG was provided by
Total Marine Fuels Global Solutions, Total's dedicated business
unit in charge of worldwide bunkering activities. Refueling took
approximately 24 hours to complete.
As part of this milestone operation, the carbon footprint of the
LNG delivered was further reduced with the introduction of
biomethane for approximately 13% of the quantity delivered, through
the Guarantee of Origin (GO) certificates mechanism. The biomethane
is produced in the Schipol area in the Netherlands, mainly by
organic municipal waste
The pioneering bunkering operation is a ground-breaking
development for the global LNG market and concretely demonstrates
Total and CMA CGM's pledge to advance the use of LNG as a marine
fuel, the best, immediately available solution in terms of energy
transition to help reduce the environmental footprint of maritime
transport. LNG makes it possible to eliminate almost all the air
pollutants generated by the combustion of fossil fuels:
-- 99% of sulphur oxide emissions;
-- 99% of fine particles emissions;
-- Up to 85% of nitrogen oxide emissions;
A LNG-powered vessel also emits up to 20% less CO2 than
conventional fuel-powered systems. The development of bio and
synthetic LNG(2) will further drive forward LNG as a viable pathway
to support the International Maritime Organization's strategy on
reducing GHG emissions from international shipping.
"We are really proud of this landmark achievement, which is the
culmination of a 3-year close collaboration between Total and CMA
CGM," said Jérôme Leprince-Ringuet, Vice President Marine Fuels at
Total. "It also marks the shipping industry's first commercial use
of biomethane on this scale. Such introduction reflects Total's
ambition to get to Net Zero by 2050 and our commitment to help
reduce the carbon intensity of the energy products used by our
customers."
"The success of the first LNG bunkering of our flagship in
Rotterdam is the culmination of 7 years of research and development
by experts from CMA CGM Group and its partners. We are very pleased
to have chosen Total for the gas supply of this major industrial
project" said Christine Cabau, Executive Vice President in charge
of CMA CGM Group's industrial assets. "This operation marks the
structuring of a chain of excellence for LNG used as a fuel for
maritime transport. It is a new step towards accelerating the
energy transition in maritime transport and logistics".
