Peninsula Fuels “K” LINE 's Thor Highway with LNG in Gibraltar

Peninsula, the global leader in marine energy solutions, is pleased to announce the successful LNG bunkering of the car carrier Thor Highway by our LNG bunker vessel, Levante LNG. The supply operation was carried out for our customer “K” LINE in Gibraltar.

The Thor Highway, operated by “K” LINE, is a newly built LNG dual-fueled car carrier chartered by the company and was delivered this year. The vessel is part of “K” LINE’s continued commitment to lower carbon shipping solutions. Peninsula’s Tokyo office was integral in facilitating this deal through the strong relationship built with “K” LINE locally.

The operation was carried out seamlessly by the LNGBV Levante LNG, showcasing Peninsula's leading and evolving lower carbon fuel offering. The smooth delivery also highlights Gibraltar and its Port Authority’s ambition in making their Port a key hub for LNG bunkering in the Mediterranean.

Peninsula’s Head of Sustainability and Alternative Fuels, Nacho de Miguel “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. Due to the ever-growing experience in supplies undertaken by our Alternative Fuels, Physical and Reselling desks, we are constantly increasing our ability to better service our customers. “K” LINE’s trust in Peninsula for supplying the Thor Highway is a testament to our growing presence in the LNG space and our ability to services customers from across the globe.”

Peninsula remains at the forefront of the marine energy transition, offering a range of lower carbon fuel options to meet the evolving needs of the global shipping community. The company’s investment in LNG infrastructure and technology ensures that vessels like the Thor Highway can operate more sustainably, contributing to the global effort to reduce GHG emissions.
