In California, Anew Climate and Seaspan Energy have completed the first ship-to-ship fueling of Bio-LNG for a commercial container vessel at the Port of Long Beach. The October 21 operation marks a key demonstration of Bio-LNG’s viability as a low-carbon marine fuel on the West Coast.
The renewable natural gas was sourced from a Morrow Energy facility and certified under the ISCC framework with a carbon intensity of 7.74 grams of CO₂e per megajoule. The bunkering follows a strategic agreement between the companies to scale Bio-LNG deployment in maritime transport.
“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.”
The operation builds on Anew Climate’s earlier milestones, including the first U.S. Bio-LNG marine fueling in 2021. “Together with Seaspan, we’re making a real impact by reducing maritime emissions today,” said Andy Brosnan, President of Anew Climate Low Carbon Fuels.
The partners said the successful fueling provides a proof-of-concept for expanding Bio-LNG access across North America’s shipping corridors.
