21AUG2019 - NEWS - Tank filled with LNG for the first time

Europe’s first shore-to-ship bunkering station for LNG has been filled with LNG for the first time. The LNG bunker station has been built by PitPoint along the busiest waterway in Europe – the Rhine, in the port of Cologne, Germany. It’s the first permanent location in Europe where barges can refuel with LNG. At the moment, LNG-fuelled barges are typically supplied using tank trucks. The opening of his station offers many new advantages to the inland shipping sector, including greater flexibility.
