As part of the bunkering operation, SSES's 20,000 cbm bunkering vessel Hai Gang Wei Lai delivered LNG to ZIM's 15,000 TEU container ship ZIM Sammy Ofer at Yangshan Port in Shanghai. SIPG also carried on with its own cargo operations while bunkering the ZIM vessel, Avenir said.

"In recent years, LNG has rapidly become the new trend of power fuel for international voyages, while green and low carbon has become the basic consensus and goal for the future development of the port and shipping industry," general manager of SSES Zhang Da said.
