Europe’s newest LNG supply and bunkering terminal in Gibraltar has received its first small-scale vessel and a small volume of LNG as it prepares for operation.

Anthony Veder’s 7,500-cbm Coral Methane (built 2009) arrived this week to practice berthing procedures and test the loading arm at the new facility, HM Government of Gibraltar said.

The vessel is on long-term charter to Shell-controlled Gasnor.
