Edison announced that it has completed the liquefied natural gas (LNG) refuelling in the port of Trieste.
The ship-to-ship bunkering operation is the first to take place in the Adriatic Sea and the first to be carried out by Edison through the use of the LNG carrier Ravenna Knutsen, which has been supplying the Ravenna LNG coastal depot (DIG).
The operation marked the start of more ship-to-ship bunkering operations in the port of Trieste.
According to Edison, the Ravenna Knutsen is a small LNG carrier with extreme operational flexibility, available to Edison under a contract with Norwegian shipowner Knutsen OAS Shipping. It was built by Hyundai Heavy Industries at the Mipo shipyard in South Korea.
The LNG carrier can transport up to 30,000 cubic metres of LNG via three high-nickel steel tanks that are suitably insulated to withstand cryogenic temperatures. The ship has a double set of cargo manifolds (both low and high), which grant it utmost operational versatility, making it capable of operating with storage facilities and vessels of different sizes.
