en.Wedoany.com Reported - Axpo has completed ship-to-ship LNG bunkering for the cruise ship "Sun Princess" in Naples, Italy, using its chartered bunker vessel "Green Zeebrugge." The operation took place recently, supplying the 175,500-ton "Sun Princess," operated by Carnival's Princess Cruises, which can accommodate 4,300 passengers. The bunker vessel "Green Zeebrugge," which delivered the LNG fuel to the cruise ship, has a capacity of 5,200 cubic meters and is owned by NYK Line.

Axpo stated that this bunkering operation was the result of close collaboration with the Central Tyrrhenian Sea Port System Authority, the Naples Terminal, and the Port Authority of Naples. Following its first ship-to-ship bio-LNG bunkering in Italy in December 2025, the company views this Naples operation as another key innovation in its strategy to build a comprehensive small-scale LNG and bio-LNG supply chain in Italy and Spain. The company is developing bunkering infrastructure for the maritime and heavy-duty transport sectors, including the 7,500 cubic meter "Green Pearl," which entered service in January 2026 for ship-to-ship and ship-to-truck operations in Italian ports, and the 12,500 cubic meter "Alisios LNG," which became operational in Spain in March 2026.

Furthermore, British LNG giant Shell and an Axpo subsidiary have recently received approval from the Port Authority of Valencia to provide commercial LNG bunkering services in the three ports of Valencia, Sagunto, and Gandia. Both concessions are valid for six years.
