GAC Bunker Fuels partners with REV LNG and REV LNG Marine to bring reliable LNG bunkering services to North America
11 October 2016
GAC Bunker Fuels (GBFL), the GAC Group’s bunker trading and brokerage arm, has entered a strategic partnership with REV LNG and REV LNG Marine to deliver LNG bunkering services to ship owners and operators trading in North America. The alliance with the leading full-service LNG supplier and its marine arm REV LNG Marine offers a complete LNG supply chain solution in North American ports, in response to growing demand for LNG as a marine fuel.
LNG provides a viable alternative to low-sulphur marine gas oil for vessels sailing in the current North American ECA (Emissions Control Area), enabling them to reduce emissions well below the mandatory 0.1%. By 2020 or 2025, LNG will also provide a solution when the global sulfur cap of 0.5% comes into force.
REV LNG specialises in LNG liquefaction facilities, storage solutions, and distribution, and has safely transported LNG over 20 million miles. Its marine arm, REV LNG Marine adds further value by connecting offshore, inland, and Great Lakes vessels to the REV LNG supply chains.
The REV-GAC alliance provides reliable and competitively priced LNG bunkering services, supported by a portfolio of diversified gas supply contracts.
GBFL is a key component of GAC North America’s shipping operations, actively providing reliable bunkering services alongside GAC’s agents in 17 port offices in the United States. Some of GBFL’s core responsibilities include liaising with the vessel operator and Master to arrange complete supply details, coordinating on-time service, confirming the bunker delivery receipt, and overseeing the credit facilities necessary to permit 30-day payment terms to clients.
