Hapag And Gasum Set Bio Lng Supply Contract For Rotterdam Singapore Route

Hapag-Lloyd, Gasum Sign Bio-LNG Supply Contract for Rotterdam-Singapore Route

Hapag-Lloyd and Gasum inked a long-term agreement for the supply of sustainable bio-LNG for nine 24,000 TEU LNG-fueled ships.

The vessels will supply environmentally friendly container services between Europe and Asia.

Hapag-Lloyd and Gasum will collaborate to use sustainable bio-LNG to power nine 24,000 TEU LNG-fueled container vessels on the Rotterdam-Singapore route.

The first bio-LNG deliveries are scheduled for 2024, with the contract potentially extending until 2030.

Gasum will supply around 240,000 tonnes of bio-LNG annually, leading to significant greenhouse gas reductions.

• Bio-LNG reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional marine fuels
• Bio-LNG is produced from renewable sources, such as plant oils or animal fats
• The use of bio-LNG aligns with Hapag-Lloyd's commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045

The collaboration between Hapag-Lloyd and Gasum is a significant step towards a fossil-free future for the maritime sector.

The agreement contributes to Hapag-Lloyd's environmental goals and the industry's transition to more sustainable operations.
