- First large-scale delivery of ISCC-certified renewable LNG (R-LNG) on North America’s West Coast.
- Supports compliance with IMO Net-Zero Framework and EU FuelEU Maritime Regulation.
- Expands lower-carbon fuel options for shipowners without compromising operational performance.
Seaspan Energy and Anew Climate have entered a strategic partnership to deliver renewable liquefied natural gas (R-LNG) to shipowners along the North American West Coast. The initiative marks the region’s first large-scale offering of ISCC-certified lower-carbon marine fuel.
Under the agreement, Anew will supply renewable natural gas (RNG) certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) system, alongside pre-audit services to prepare Seaspan for ISCC certification. The fuel will meet global decarbonization standards, including the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Net-Zero Framework and the European Union’s FuelEU Maritime Regulation.
The collaboration builds on Anew Climate’s history in the sector, including facilitating the first U.S. bio-LNG bunkering in 2021 when it operated as Element Markets. Seaspan Energy, a leader in ship-to-ship LNG bunkering, will now extend its portfolio to include ISCC-certified R-LNG, targeting scalable distribution along the coast.
