A first for the Port of Houston
The Swedish company Stena sent the tankers "Stena Pro Marine" and "Stena Prosperous" to the port of Houston on the US Gulf Coast where they were refuelled via barge while discharging clean petroleum products at a terminal. This was the first barge-to-ship methanol bunkering to take place in USA.
For Anita Gajadhar, executive director, marketing, logistics and shipping, Proman, a methanol producer, this "is a tremendous achievement for the Proman Stena Bulk joint venture."
The bunkering also supports US commitments to cut methane emissions by 30% by 2030 under the global methane pledge, which was announced at the COP26 climate summit in 2021. (lh)
