Shell LNGBV commissions new Lithuanian truck station

Shell’s purpose-built LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV) newbuilding has been used to commission KN’s new LNG truck loading station at Klaipeda, Lithuania.

KN says the 6,500-cbm Cardissa, which arrived in northern Europe from South Korea in late July, loaded 1,000 cbm of LNG from its chartered floating storage and regasification unit Independence (built 2014).

This was then shipped seven kilometres downstream to commission two of the five high-pressure, 1,000-cbm "bullet" tanks KN is installing to supply LNG to trucks.
