LNG bunkering operations will begin shortly in the port of La Spezia
Roncallo: our airport is the first at national level in which such an operation is carried out
October 19, 2020
Roncallo pointed out that in order to achieve this goal it took almost two years of work at a technical table coordinated by the Port Authority and participated by Port System, Municipality of La Spezia, Provincial Command of the Firefighters, ARPAL, ASL, Customs Agency, Chemicals of port, technical nautical services of the port of La Spezia, SNAM Panigaglia, trade associations and all bodies authorised for ship safety certification. Specifying that that of safety has always been the central aspect in the work of this table, Roncallo has specified that to appreciate the importance of this goal it should be noted that, especially in the field of cruise ship, the ship is going more and more in this direction and this can only be a very good news for the environment given the very low emissions produced by LNG-powered engines. In addition, for shipowners, the objectives of emission reduction are a top priority and in in this sense, liquefied natural gas will make it possible to Reach.
Roncallo addressed a thank you to the whole group of work, "but above all- he added - to the Command of the Captaincy of La Spezia and the Maritime Directorate of Genoa, which once again they put their skills at the service of the territory, without ever losing sight of the issue of security, always at the centre of the path that has led us today to this great the result.'
