UECC’s LNG-capable pure car and truck carrier, Auto Advance, was supplied with an unspecified quantity of liquid biomethane (LBM) in a truck-to-ship bunkering operation.

This marks the first time that “LBM has been delivered by truck to ship in the whole of Spain,” UECC stated. The company also noted that this “represents the first physical molecule delivery of the fuel - instead of mass balanced.”

This physical delivery of LBM in Spain will enable UECC to expand its regional LBM suppliers beyond Titan Clean Fuels in Zeebrugge, the company added.
