FEBRUARY 6, 2015 — Harvey Gulf International Marine, LLC reports that it made North American maritime history today, becoming the first owner/operator of a dual fuel offshore support vessel to bunker LNG as a marine fuel and the first to also successfully complete the first truck to vessel transfer of LNG when it bunkered the M/V Harvey Energy on LNG.
The historic bunkering took place at a shore-based terminal owned by a subsidiary of Martin Midstream Partners L.P. in Pascagoula, MS.
Participating in the activities alongside the crew of the Harvey Energy were the U.S. Coast Guard, ABS, Wärtsilä, Martin Energy Services LLC, state and local agencies and Gulf Coast Shipbuilding Group.
