TotalEnergies Launches Port of Marseille Fos’ First Ship-to-Containership
LNG Bunkering Operation

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and its partner CMA CGM, have
launched Marseilles’ inaugural ship-to-containership Liquefied Natural Gas
(LNG) bunkering operation in the Port of Marseille Fos, Southern France.

CMA CGM BALI, a 15,000 TEU(1) LNG-powered containership is deployed on the MEX
1 service, connecting Asia and South Europe. She has been refuelled by
TotalEnergies’ Gas Vitality, the first LNG bunker vessel based in France,
with around 6,000m(3) of LNG, by means of a ship-to-ship transfer alongside
the Eurofos container terminal, while the containership carried out cargo
operations simultaneously. The Gas Vitality is TotalEnergies' second chartered
LNG bunker vessel and owned by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd (MOL).

This entire operation underlines a solid collaborative teamwork across the
French maritime industry including the involvement of local port authorities
to enable the vessels’ safe operatorship, and the commitments of all the
parties to support the growing role of LNG in the shipping’s energy
transition.

“TotalEnergies is delighted to successfully complete Marseille’s first LNG
bunkering operation of a containership via the Gas Vitality. Her deployment
underscores the Company’s commitment to support the French port’s ambition
to be an LNG bunkering hub for the Mediterranean region,” said Jérôme
Leprince-Ringuet, Vice-President Marine Fuels at TotalEnergies. “This
landmark operation also demonstrates our continued support to the growing role
of LNG in shipping’s energy transition. In line with TotalEnergies’
climate ambition, we will continue to work hand-in-hand with our industry
partners to develop and scale up new, lower-carbon and ultimately, zero-carbon
fuel solutions for shipping.”

TotalEnergies supports the growing role of LNG in shipping’s energy
transition

TotalEnergies has actively invested in LNG infrastructure, critical to support
its shipping customers’ uptake of LNG as a marine fuel.

Since November 2020, TotalEnergies has been operating the 18,600-m³ Gas
Agility at the Port of Rotterdam and completed the first LNG bunkering
operation of the CMA CGM JACQUES SAADE, the largest dual-fuel LNG-powered
containership in the world. Together with the Company’s second-chartered LNG
bunker vessel, the Gas Vitality, both vessels demonstrate its commitment to
make LNG bunkering capabilities readily available in key European hubs. In
2022, TotalEnergies will also commence operations of a third LNG bunker vessel
to serve Singapore, where the Company has been awarded a LNG bunker supplier
license for a five-year term starting January 1(st), 2022.
