Seaspan Energy, North Vancouver, B.C., and Anew Climate, Houston, Texas, have entered into a strategic agreement to offer delivery of renewable liquefied natural gas (R-LNG) to customers on the North American West Coast.<\/p>\n
As part of the service offering, Anew will supply renewable natural gas (RNG) certified by the
International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) and provide pre-audit services to
Seaspan required for ISCC certification. The RNG will comply with global standard frameworks
like the International Maritime Organization\u2019s (IMO) Net-Zero Framework and the FuelEU
Maritime Regulation in the European Union.<\/p>\n
This collaboration represents a first-of-its-kind initiative on North America\u2019s West Coast,
offering a more sustainable fuel option for ship owners. The initiative builds on the first bio-LNG
bunkering in the U.S. that Anew Climate\u2014then known as Element Markets\u2014facilitated in 2021.
Seaspan Energy is a subsidiary of Seaspan ULC and a market leader on the West Coast for shipto-
ship marine bunkering of liquefied natural gas. In partnering with Anew Climate, Seaspan
will expand its portfolio of offerings to include ISCC-certified R-LNG to customers all along
the West Coast. This service offering will be among the first to target delivery of ISCC-certified
lower carbon marine fuel at scale. <\/p>\n
\u201cAt a time when global shipping is under pressure to decarbonize, this partnership brings
together two innovators committed to advancing sustainable solutions,\u201d said Andy Brosnan, president, Anew Climate Low Carbon Fuels. \u201cBy combining Anew\u2019s expertise in RNG with Seaspan\u2019s marine logistic capabilities, we\u2019re offering a market-leading approach to help shipowners meet evolving emissions requirements and reduce their environmental impact without compromising performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The initiative aligns with emerging guidance from the IMO, which has preliminarily approved
measures to encourage emissions reductions like those associated with the use of alternative
fuels such as R-LNG.<\/p>\n
This partnership marks a significant step forward in delivering scalable, lower-carbon solutions
to the maritime industry and accelerating the shift to a cleaner energy future. Anew Climate
and Seaspan will work together to identify and develop commercial opportunities that
promote the adoption of lower-carbon fuels, with a focus on delivering ISCC-certified R-LNG to
ships throughout the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud to collaborate with Anew Climate to forge a new path for lower-carbon marine
fuel,\u201d said Harly Penner, president, Seaspan Energy. \u201cThis partnership supports our goal to provide cleaner energy solutions to the maritime industry and demonstrates our dedication to innovation and environmental leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
