Rhode Island sees first LNG bunkering at Davisville port
In the United States, REV LNG supplied fuel to Siem Car Carriers’ LNG-powered Siem Aristotle at Rhode Island’s Port of Davisville in October under a new Northeast bunkering partnership, marking what the companies said was the state’s first LNG bunkering operation and the region’s first LNG fueling of a car carrier. “What we needed was reliable fuel,” Siem Car Carriers President Jeffrey Campbell said in a Nov. 5 announcement.
REV sources and transports the LNG and manages pier-side logistics, providing Siem’s Atlantic service a dedicated fueling location.
The Davisville operation followed approximately 12 months of planning and regulatory approvals involving the U.S. Coast Guard, Rhode Island State Fire Marshal and port officials.
