Overview
Objectives:
The Action aims at establishing the supply chain for the distribution of LNG for vessels and LNG/CNG for port heavy duty vehicles and buses, including bunkering and refuelling facilities the Port of Limassol (in Cyprus), and the Ports of Piraeus and Heraklion (in Greece).
Methodology:
The action focuses on the construction of two LNG Bunkering Vessels (indicative capacity 3,000 m3 each) serving the purposes of bunkering LNG fuelled vessels and the small-scale mobile LCNG stations to service the ports of Heraklion and Limassol.
The action also focuses on the development, procurement and commissioning of:
- one Mobile LCNG Station (indicative capacity 200 m3) to service the Core TEN-T Port of Heraklion;
- two Mobile LCNG Stations (indicative capacity 60 m3 each) to service the Core TEN-T Port of Limassol (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2) for bunkering LNG fuelled vessels and refuelling the LNG/CNG for port heavy duty vehicles and buses;
- a small fleet of eight LNG Tanker Trucks (indicative capacity 50 m3 each) with bunkering equipment.
