Peninsula fuels K Line's Thor Highway with LNG in Gibraltar

Marine energy solutions provider Peninsula on July 17 announced the successful LNG bunkering of the car carrier Thor Highway by its LNG bunker vessel, Levante LNG. The supply operation was carried out for the Japanese shipping company K Line in Gibraltar.

The Thor Highway, operated by K Line, is a newly built LNG dual-fuelled car carrier chartered by the company and delivered this year.

“The LNG-powered vessel order book is looking very healthy over the coming years. This further validates our decision to develop LNG bunkering solutions in the early stages of the marine fuel transition," Peninsula’s head of sustainability and alternative fuels, Nacho de Miguel, commented.

Peninsula secured an LNG bunkering operator license in October from the government of Gibraltar and the Gibraltar Port Authority. The company began operations in Gibraltar in November.
