In Spain, at the Port of Barcelona on July 26, TUI Cruises’ Mein Schiff Relax received the first ship-to-ship delivery of bioLNG ever carried out at the port. The Shell chartered barge Haugesund Knutsen supplied 1,875 cubic meters of ISCC certified liquefied biomethane, sourced from the on-site Enagás regasification terminal.
The operation marks a shift in both fuel and logistics. Unlike a previous truck-based bioLNG transfer at the port in March, the ship-to-ship method boosts volume more than fifteenfold and reduces bunkering time, key advantages for tight cruise turnarounds. With 23 percent of cruise calls at Barcelona already fueled by LNG, the port is positioned to support a broader transition to renewable alternatives.
