The barge is equipped with dual-fuel propulsion, allowing it to run on LNG and conventional fuels. It is also fitted with shore power connection. Built by Turkish shipbuilder RMK Marine, the vessel will serve under a long-term charter agreement with Shell to support its bunkering operations in the ARA hub, according to Victrol.
