As a bridge solution toward achieving a carbon-neutral society, the maritime industry is transitioning to LNG fuel. The importance of LNG bunkering vessels has been increasing globally in recent years because they are well-suited for supplying large quantities of LNG fuel to large ships. KEYS Azalea, built by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. for KEYS Bunkering West Japan Ltd., is the first LNG bunkering vessel to operate in Western Japan. This vessel has been engaging in LNG bunkering operations for ocean-going LNG-fueled ships calling at various ports in the Kyushu and Setouchi regions, as well as in domestic LNG transport.
