The fuel was delivered to the UECC vessel from Molgas' Barcelona terminal via trucks. Molgas operates a multi-truck bunkering unit, which allows delivery of 200–300 mt of bio-LNG simultaneously during cargo loading and unloading operations.

It is now ready to expand deliveries across “multiple Spanish ports”, the company added.

Molgas has not specified whether the bio-LNG used for this operation was produced using a mass balance accounting method. It also owns a 45% stake in Dutch LNG and bio-LNG supplier Titan.
