总部位于海牙的油气巨头壳牌签署了一项协议,为Teekay在欧洲的油轮供应往返路程的LNG燃料。
Teekay的13万吨级船舶将以LNG为主要燃料,并将LNG与回收的挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)混合作为二次燃料。
E-Shuttle油轮有用于灵活的电力分配和防止停电的电池组。这些船是由韩国三星重工建造的。
在评论与Teekay的协议时,壳牌全球下游LNG总经理Tahir Faruqui表示:“越来越多的组织使用LNG,我们很高兴又增加了一家油轮客户。”
他补充说,公司目前已经完成了100多项船对船的LNG加注作业,以满足不断增长的客户需求。
与壳牌公司的交易是Teekay公司的第一份LNG供应合同。Teekay Offshore Logistics总裁 Idar Hillers?y补充说,壳牌作为其战略合作伙伴,为公司提供了一个长期的LNG燃料加注方案。

Shell inks deal to supply Teekay’s LNG-fueled shuttle tankers
The Hague-based LNG giant Shell has signed a deal to supply liquefied natural gas to Teekay’s LNG-fueled shuttle tankers in Europe.
Teekay’s 130,000-dwt vessels will operate on both liquefied natural gas (LNG) as the primary fuel, and a mixture of LNG and recovered volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a secondary fuel.
The E-Shuttle tankers have battery packs for flexible power distribution and blackout prevention. The vessels are being built by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea.
Commenting on the agreement with Teekay, Tahir Faruqui, general manager, Shell Global Downstream LNG, said, “We are excited to add another tanker customer to the growing number of organizations adopting LNG.”
He added that the company has now completed more than 100 ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operations to meet the growing customer demand.
The deal with Shell is Teekay’s first LNG supply contract. Idar Hillers?y, president of Teekay Offshore Logistics added that having Shell as its strategic partner provides the company with a long-term LNG fueling solution.
Upon delivery in 2019 and 2020, two of the vessels will commence operations under the partnership’s master agreement with Equinor.
