“LNG bunkers and LNG STS both now available within Portland Harbour waters,” Portland Port’s commercial director Ian McQuade wrote in a social media post.

Situated on the south-west coast of England, the port lies just 20 nautical miles from the main English Channel trading routes, offering round-the-clock access and a strategically advantageous location.

“With this new STS license, we can now support LNG transfers directly at our port, helping reduce transit time, streamline operations, and access a fully compliant and experienced marine infrastructure,” Portland Port stated.
