LNG bunkering operation in Rostock
The LNG bunker vessel ‘Kairos’, operated by Nauticor, has supplied DEME’s offshore installation vessel ‘Orion’. DEME is a player in the fields of dredging, marine engineering and environmental remediation. For the port of Rostock (Germany), this ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operation is a premiere.
‘Orion’ is currently at the Liebherr construction yard in the port, where it is being outfitted with a 5,000 t crane. DEME leads the industry with the adoption of LNG, with the new offshore installation vessel being the fifth dual fuel addition to the fleet, following three trailing suction hopper dredgers (‘Minerva’, ‘Scheldt River’ and ‘Bonny River’) and a cable laying vessel (‘Living Stone’).
