TotalEnergies has signed a charter contract with Spanish shipowner Ibaizabal for a new Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) bunker vessel of 18,600m3 capacity. This vessel will expand the company's global presence in bunkering hubs, potentially being deployed in Oman as part of the Marsa LNG project. The new ship will join TotalEnergies' current fleet of three LNG bunker vessels and is set to be delivered by the end of 2026.
