Nordic energy company Gasum has supplied a full cargo of LNG bunkers to a hybrid electric and LNG-fuelled expedition cruiseship owned by Ponant.

The operation took place as the 270-berth Le Commandant Charcot (built 2021) shifts from its first Arctic voyage and heads to its Antarctic season in the southern hemisphere.

Gasum undertook the bunkering — its first LNG supply in France — in a ship-to-ship operation in Le Harve on the country's north coast on Friday using the 7,500-cbm LNG bunker vessel Kairos (built 2018).
