example of that.” The purpose-built facility will comprise<br />

of a discharge station for LNG trailers or containers,<br />

feeding pumps, vacuum-insulated piping and bunkering<br />

equipment to facilitate efficient operations. The<br />

installation will also satisfy the stricter sulphur directive<br />

for shipping and has been designated by the EU as one of<br />

the most prioritised infrastructure projects in Europe.<br />

MAN Cryo will oversee the project under the terms of<br />

an EPC contract including engineering, procurement and<br />

construction, and managed from MAN Diesel & Turbo’s<br />

local Gothenburg office.<br />

The facility is scheduled to open during 2018 and will<br />

be operated and managed by Swedegas in close<br />

cooperation with the Port of Gothenburg.<br />

The Port of Gothenburg is the largest port in the Nordic<br />

countries with over 6,000 ship visits per year from over<br />

140 destinations worldwide. As the only Swedish port<br />

with the capacity to cope with the very largest, oceangoing<br />

container ships, Gothenburg handles nearly 30% of the<br />

country's foreign trade, comprising 40 million tonnes of<br />

freight annually.<br />

WÄRTSILÄ TANKS FOR LNG BUNKER BARGE<br />

Wärtsilä has secured a deal to supply the cargo handling<br />

system and cargo tanks to a new 3000m3 LNG bunker<br />

barge under construction in Romania for a consortium of<br />

French and Belgian interests.<br />

When delivered, the barge will be chartered to Shell<br />

Western LNG B.V. (Shell), operating out of Rotterdam to<br />

provide the Victrol CFT Corporation consortium with<br />

additional flexibility to bunker LNG fuelled ships,<br />

including vessels operating on Europe's inland waterways.<br />

"Our strength throughout the LNG value chain is well<br />

known, and this new bunker vessel provides yet another<br />

link to this chain," says Timo Koponen, Vice President,<br />

Flow & Gas Solutions, Wärtsilä Marine Solutions.<br />

"Wärtsilä is a leader in gas handling technology and we<br />

are pleased to have them as a partner in this newbuild<br />

project. Furthermore, their ability to provide the<br />

equipment on a fast-track basis is important for the<br />

delivery scheduling of this barge," says Gisele Maes<br />

Buelens, Victrol.<br />

Wärtsilä Gas Solutions offers innovative and energy<br />

efficient systems for a number of gas segment<br />

applications, including for all types of gas carriers,<br />

terminals, and fuel gas supply systems.<br />

SHORE POWER<br />

SHORE POWER CAN SIGNIFICANTLY CUT CO2<br />

If the shore power dispenser unit charging the Vision of<br />

the Fjords at the Flåm berth is rolled out to other<br />

Norwegian ports, it could reduce he country’s CO2<br />

emissions by as much as 12.5 million tonnes every year.<br />

This is the conclusion to a report compiled by ABB, the<br />

Port of Oslo, and Cavotec, working under the auspices of<br />

ReCharge, an initiative that seeks to pave the way for<br />

zero emission ports in the Scandinavian country.<br />

The ReCharge project has assessed where emissions in<br />

Norwegian ports are generated, where there is greatest<br />

potential for reductions, and what kind of charging and<br />
