Edison has announced that it has completed the liquefied natural gas (LNG) refuelling in the port of Trieste, Italy. The ship-to-ship bunkering operation is the first to take place in the Adriatic Sea, and the first to be carried out by Edison through the use of the LNG carrier Ravenna Knutsen, which has been supplying the Ravenna LNG coastal depot, forming part of the Group’s integrated logistics chain and contributing to the decarbonisation of road and maritime transport.
The operation marks the start of more ship-to-ship bunkering operations in the port of Trieste.
Fabrizio Mattana, executive vice president for gas assets at Edison, says: ‘After the commissioning of the coastal depot in Ravenna, which has become the reference in Italy for LNG supply in road transport, thanks to today’s operation Edison is the first in the LNG supply market for the maritime segment.. To consolidate our market presence, we are also developing a second LNG coastal depot in Southern Italy and a second LNG carrier ready for bunkering operations. So many concrete steps that confirm our commitment to sustainable mobility in Italy and the Mediterranean Sea.’
