道达尔将为CMA CGM未来十年供应LNG燃料

法国能源巨头道达尔和国内航运公司法国达飞海运签署了一项协议，在未来十年内每年供应大约27万吨液化天然气。

道达尔表示，这一供应量将涵盖法国达飞海运公司未来15000个标准集装箱船在马赛-富斯港（Marseille-Fos）的燃料供应，这些集装箱船将在亚洲和地中海之间运营，计划于2021年开始交付。

作为该协议的一部分，道达尔将为这些集装箱船只的加注提供一个合适的解决方案，在马赛-富斯港部署一艘液化天然气燃料船，并在新加坡提供一个补充的加燃料解决方案。

这些新的供应链将进一步扩大液化天然气作为船用燃料的使用，特别是在地中海地区。

法国达飞海运集团董事长兼首席执行官Rodolphe Saade表示:“液化天然气是目前唯一一种能够显著减少碳足迹的可靠能源。选择液化天然气为船舶提供动力，需要完全适应整个能源供应链和基础设施。

“从2021年底开始，我们将选择马赛-富斯作为我们1.5万标准集装箱船只的加油港，这将把法国集装箱港口带入这一重要的能源转型时期。

道达尔首席执行官Patrick Pouyanne补充道:“与法国达飞海运集团的这份新合同将在马赛港建立一条专用的供应链。道达尔致力于与客户合作，为他们提供更环保的船用燃料，从而为海洋运输的可持续发展做出积极贡献，特别是在地中海盆地。”

需要提醒的是，法国达飞海运集团和道达尔已于2017年12月签署了一份战略采购合同，为法国达飞海运集团订购的2.3万标准箱LNG动力船舶提供燃料服务，计划明年开始服役。

这一系列中的第一艘是法国达飞海运集团的雅克·萨德号，这是世界上第一艘超大型液化天然气动力集装箱船，于2019年9月25日下水。

Total to supply LNG fuel to CMA CGM vessels for 10 years

French energy major Total and compatriot shipping company CMA CGM have signed an agreement for the supply of approximately 270,000 tonnes of LNG per year over ten years.

Total said that this volume would cover the supply at Marseille-Fos of CMA CGM’s future 15,000-TEU container ships that will operate between Asia and the Mediterranean, scheduled for delivery starting in 2021.

As part of this agreement, Total will provide a suitable solution for the bunkering of these containerships with the positioning of an LNG bunker vessel at the port of Marseille-Fos and a complementary bunkering solution in Singapore.

These new supply chains will further expand the use of LNG as a marine fuel, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea.

Rodolphe Saadé, chairman and CEO of the CMA CGM Group, said: “LNG is the align="justify">“By choosing Marseille-Fos as a refueling port for our 15,000-TEU vessels, from the end of 2021, we are bringing the French container ports into this major energy transition.”

Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of Total, added: “This new contract with CMA CGM results in the launch of a dedicated supply chain in the port of Marseille-Fos. Total is committed to working with its customers to offer them more environmentally friendly marine fuels and thus contributes positively to the sustainable evolution of maritime transport, particularly in the Mediterranean basin.”

To remind, CMA CGM and Total already signed a strategic procurement contract in December 2017 for the LNG-powered 23,000-TEU vessels ordered by the CMA CGM Group which are scheduled to enter service starting next year.
