The Global Project is the construction of a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) bunkering station at the Port of Dunkirk. The station will fuel vessels coming from and to the North Europe SECA and passing through the Dover Strait and inland transportation. LNG will be provided to the bunkering facilities through a pipe from an adjacent LNG import terminal being constructed in Dunkirk. The Global Project will enable the completion of a missing bunkering gap for ships on the southern border of North European SECA.

The Action consists in the preparation of feasibility and design studies for the construction of a LNG bunkering station infrastructure in the Port of Dunkirk (GPMD), located in the south of the North European SECA (Sulphur Emission Control Areas) area.

The Action implementation will involve consultation with a group of technical partners including Voies Navigables de France, relevant ports and the Dunkirk LNG terminal operator (DK LNG) and some shipowners. The final general results will be disseminated among the maritime community to raise awareness of LNG bunkering opportunities.

This project has been completed.
