Australia’s Woodside Energy is stepping up plans to acquire an LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV) to fuel its next generation of ore carriers shipping cargoes into China.
Sources following the project say the energy and LNG supply company has advanced its search for a vessel of up to 15,000 cbm.
The Perth-based company is said to be looking for a vessel able to conduct ship-to-ship bunkering operations in open water, as ports where ore carriers load in Australia are heavily congested.
