The LNG stem was delivered by Peninsula’s 12,500 cbm capacity LNG supply vessel Levante LNG. The vessel arrived in Gibraltar in September and will be operating around ports in the Strait of Gibraltar and Western Mediterranean region.

Peninsula already supplies conventional bunker fuels around Gibraltar, as well as in other global locations. The Strait of Gibraltar is an important hub for both LNG and conventional fuel bunkering, as it connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.

Last month, Peninsula received an LNG bunkering licence from Gibraltar's government and the Gibraltar Port Authority.
