<\/p>\n Axpo and Vitol have completed the first LNG bunkering operation at the Port of Civitavecchia in Italy, refuelling a flagship vessel of a leading international cruise line.<\/p>\n The port now joins Genoa and Naples in offering LNG refuelling services. This represents an important milestone in the development of infrastructure and services for alternative maritime fuels in Italian ports.<\/p>\n Green Pearl, a 7500 m3 Italian bunkering vessel operated by Axpo, safely conducted the ship-to-ship refuelling operation at Civitavecchia\u2019s berth 18. Operated by Axpo, Green Pearl was brought into service in 2026 and is dedicated to ship-to-ship and ship-to-truck bunkering operations in Italian ports.<\/p>\n Axpo Italia CEO, Simone Demarchi, said: \u201cThis latest operation shows the ability of our supply chain to grow rapidly and meet the needs of leading international cruise lines. Over the coming years, the shipping and cruise sectors will be called upon to accelerate their decarbonisation journey. Today, LNG is one of the most substantial and readily available solutions to help support this transition.\u201d<\/p>\n Vitol Head of Small Scale LNG & LNG Bunkering, Stefan Dubbeldam, added: \u201cLNG and bio-LNG have a key role to play in reducing emissions from bunkering. Vitol is globally invested throughout the value chain, from upstream bio-LNG and LNG production and offtake, through to solutions for customers through our LNG bunker vessel fleet.\u201d<\/p>\n
