First LNG Bunkering Operation in Jacksonville | ACT

On Saturday, January 9, 2016, TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico successfully loaded LNG bunkers aboard the world’s first LNG powered containership, MV Isla Bella. Approximately 100,000 LNG gallons transported by 12 TOTE-owned LNG ISO containers were on schedule. The bunkering took place under strict US Coast Guard oversight while Isla Bella was also undergoing cargo operations.

The LNG moved from the ISO tank containers using a specially developed transfer skid developed by TOTE’s partner Applied Cryogenics Technologies (ACT) of Houston, Texas.  The transfer skid is to allow four ISO tanks to be move to Isla Bella at once, dramatically reducing transfer time.

The LNG was by TOTE’s partner, JAX LNG, LLC, from AGL Resources’ LNG production facility in Macon, Georgia.  Genox Transportation, a specialized LNG trucking partner of TOTE, transported the fuel to Jacksonville.  Pivotal LNG, a subsidiary of AGL Resources, also gave transfer expertise to TOTE Maritime with its highly trained LNG experts, ensured the operation took place safely and in accordance with best industry practices.

“We are very pleased with the results of this initial LNG bunker event and know that the use of LNG in our Marlin Class vessels will provide unprecedented environmental benefits both here in Jacksonville and in Puerto Rico,” said Tim Nolan, President of TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico. “We are indebted to USCG Sector Jacksonville for their diligent oversight and assistance that was invaluable and helped make this event a success.  Our partners ACT, Pivotal LNG and Genox were also major components of our success.  TSI has developed significant expertise in LNG as a Maritime fuel. Additionally, it ensures that our vessels operate safely and efficiently using this environmentally superior fuel.”
