Molgas expands LNG bunkering network to Portugal

European small-scale LNG player Molgas continues to expand its LNG bunkering network with the completion of its first operation in Portugal's port of Leixoes.

The Madrid-based company said in a statement that the truck-to-ship LNG bunkering operation took place last Friday.

Molgas bunkered LNG to the dual-fuel Ilma, the first LNG-powered superyacht owned by The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

French shipbuilder Chantiers de l’Atlantique delivered this superyacht last year.

With this operation, Molgas expanded its LNG bunkering operations to Portugal.

“This achievement builds on our recent success in partnership with Titan Clean Fuels, delivering LNG to Ilma at the Cruise Port of Amsterdam — the first LNG bunkering operation at the Cruise Terminal of Amsterdam,” Molgas said.

Earlier this year, Molgas also kicked off a truck-to-ship bio-LNG bunkering service in the Belgian port of Zeebrugge.

The company has been very busy expanding its LNG bunkering network in Europe.

In December 2024, the group, owned by French private equity firm InfraVia Capital Partners, completed its first truck-to-ship LNG bunkering operation in the UK.

Earlier the same year, Molgas completed its first LNG bunkering operations in Italy, Belgium, and France.

Molgas also bought a 45 percent stake in Dutch LNG supplier Titan.
