Seaspan Energy bunkered the dual-fuel oil tanker, Pacific Jade Majuro, with an unspecified amount of LNG. The bunkering operation was conducted by Seaspan’s LNG bunker barge Seaspan Lions, the company said.

This operation “marks the introduction” of LNG "from the Port of Vancouver and beyond”, the company said.

“With two of our LNG bunkering vessels now operational and our first bunkering in the books, our message to ship owners globally is that we now offer an accredited LNG bunkering option here in Vancouver,” it added.
