The RensenDriessen-designed 135-meter-long vessel, which was launched in December 2025, will operate in the Zeebrugge, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Antwerp (ZARA) region, according to a statement by Molgas on Wednesday.
Madrid-based Molgas, which completed the purchase of Titan last year, did not provide further information regarding the charter deal.
With this new vessel, Titan can deliver LNG, liquefied biomethane (LBM/bio-LNG), and in the future renewable hydrogen-derived e-methane (e-LNG) “more cost-efficiently and moving more easily” between ARA and Zeebrugge ports.
Molgas said the vessel can supply container vessels, large PCTCs, large tankers, and will not need a spacer vessel to conduct deliveries to cruise vessels, as well as both bunkering and resupplying other LNG bunker vessels.
Delivering LNG fuel to PCTCs
Moreover, the vessel is already operational, having completed multiple LNG bunkering operations as part of its onboarding program, right after obtaining the license to act as an LNG bunkering vessel from the port, according to Molgas.
Since then, it has particularly been delivering to PCTCs calling at various ports in the ZARA region, which is a primary focus of Titan’s operations with the vessel.
Titan can also conduct simultaneous bunkering operations (SIMOPS), and with the vessel’s high total pump capacity (eight deep well main cargo pumps, delivering 165 m³/hr of fuel each) it is suitable to deliver to larger vessels within port stay.
Additionally, it is equipped with subcoolers and a gas combustion unit – which are ideal for specialist gas-up and cooldown operations, Molgas noted.
“As demand for LNG and LBM increases – in line with the growth of the LNG-fuelled fleet and supported by decarbonization drivers like FuelEU Maritime – access to high-quality bunker vessels and various terminals is vital. This chartering agreement gives us even more flexibility in delivering methane pathway fuels to ship operators now and into the future,” Niels Den Nijs, Director of Titan, said.
