Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line) on Wednesday said it has commenced technical management of the vessel.
FueLNG Bellina is owned by FueLNG, a joint venture between Keppel Offshore & Marine and Shell Eastern Petroleum.
The vessel’s debut in Singapore is a milestone for the maritime industry in its efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG).
FueLNG Bellina was built by Keppel Offshore & Marine’s Nantong shipyard and delivered in January.
The vessel’s first contracts will be to provide ship-to-ship LNG bunkering to the Shell-chartered tankers and for one of Hapag Lloyd’s container vessels.
