Titan Clean Fuels has chartered the 8,000-cbm LNG bunker vessel UNITED LNG I from Somtralux to expand LNG and LBM supply in the Zeebrugge, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp region, according to Titan Clean Fuels.
The 135-metre inland waterway vessel, launched in December 2025 and operated by United Bunkers, is already in service after completing LNG bunkering operations during its onboarding programme and receiving port approval to operate as an LNG bunker vessel.
Titan said the ship will supply LNG, liquefied biomethane, or /bio-LNG, and later renewable hydrogen-derived e-methane.
The vessel can serve container ships, large pure car and truck carriers, large tankers and cruise vessels without a spacer vessel, as well as re-supply other LNG bunker vessels.
UNITED LNG I has eight deepwell cargo pumps, each with capacity of 165 cbm per hour, giving a total pump rate of 1,320 cbm per hour.
Titan said this makes the vessel suitable for larger ships within port stays and for simultaneous bunkering operations.
The vessel is fitted with subcoolers and a gas combustion unit for gas-up and cooldown work. Designed by RensenDriessen, it is compatible with membrane, Moss and type C LNG tank systems and has a hose-handling crane, bunker boom and bunker manifolds for ship-to-ship transfers.
Niels Den Nijs, director of Titan Clean Fuels Marine, said access to bunker vessels and terminals was becoming critical as LNG and LBM demand rises alongside the LNG-fuelled fleet and FuelEU Maritime requirements.
Somtralux chief executive Mr Somers said UNITED LNG I was built for conventional bunkering and more complex LNG operations.
The charter follows Titan’s acquisition by Molgas Energy Group in October 2025.
Titan Clean Fuels is a marine fuel supplier focused on LNG, liquefied biomethane and methane-based alternative fuels for shipping.
Molgas Energy Group is an energy logistics and fuel supply group active in LNG distribution and alternative fuel infrastructure.
