Six years after its delivery from the Turkish shipyard Sefine, the double-ended ferry ELIO, owned by the Caronte & Tourist Group, has been bunkered with LNG in the port of Messina, thanks to Molgas Energy.
As occurred some months ago in Trapani for the RoPax NEREA, a vessel also part of the group controlled by the Franza and Matacena families, ELIO successfully completed its first LNG refuelling operation through a double truck-to-ship operation. Both trucks arrived in Messina from the onshore terminal operated by Edison.
In the future, thanks to the competitive price of LNG, NEREA and ELIO will be regularly fuelled using the truck-to-ship system, with biogas— a 100% sustainable fuel derived from organic waste—being supplied.
