Anew Climate and Seaspan Energy have completed the first ship-to-ship bunkering of bio-LNG at the Port of Long Beach, marking a major milestone for lower-carbon marine fuel adoption on the U.S. West Coast.
The operation is the first under the companies’ strategic partnership to deliver renewable LNG at scale.
Conducted in one of North America’s busiest ports, the bunkering demonstrates how existing LNG infrastructure can support the transition to renewable fuel alternatives.
The renewable natural gas used to produce the bio-LNG was sourced from a Morrow Energy facility, certified with a carbon intensity of just 7.74g CO₂e/MJ under the ISCC framework.
“This pilot is just the beginning,” said Harly Penner, President of Seaspan Energy. “We’re proud to collaborate with Anew Climate to forge a new path for lower-carbon marine fuel. Together, we’re demonstrating that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand.”
The operation follows Anew Climate’s earlier milestones, including the first Bio-LNG fuelling of a vessel in the U.S. in 2021 and the launch of a carbon-neutral platform supply vessel in 2022.
“We’re thrilled to mark this milestone, which highlights Anew’s leadership in accelerating the adoption of renewable fuels in the maritime sector,” said Andy Brosnan, President of Anew Climate Low Carbon Fuels.
