A pioneering LNG fuelling barge for the US will not now be delivered until the fourth quarter, to dovetail with the completion of the small-scale liquefaction plant where it will be based.

Clean Marine Energy (CME), which ordered the 2,200-cbm Jones Act barge Clean Jacksonville, says the unit is moving towards completion, with delivery timed to match the start of operations at JAX LNG, in Jacksonville, Florida, towards the end of this year.
