Simultaneous operations (SIMOPs) refer to the process where ships receive LNG bunker fuel while simultaneously unloading cargo. This bunkering method is meant to reduce the docking time for vessels in port.

Gasum conducted a ship-to-ship (STS) LNG bunkering operation for the Höegh Sunlight, a dual-fuel pure car and truck carrier owned by Norwegian shipping company Höegh Autoliners.

The bunkering operation was conducted by Gasum’s LNG bunker barge Coralius, the company said.
