AD Ports conducts first LNG ship-to-ship bunkering at Khalifa Port

AD Ports Group has successfully completed its first ship-to-ship liquified natural gas (LNG) bunkering operation at Khalifa Port, marking a significant milestone in Abu Dhabi’s emergence as a hub for sustainable marine fuels.

The operation involved the container vessel MSC Thais, docked at Abu Dhabi Terminals, receiving LNG from the bunker vessel Green Zeebrugge, supplied by marine fuels provider Monjasa.

Captain Saif Al Mheiri, CEO of Abu Dhabi Maritime and Chief Sustainability Officer at AD Ports Group, stated that AD Ports Group and Monjasa are ensuring reliable access to a diversified fuel mix that supports shipowners in their decarbonisation journey.



AD Ports Group and Monjasa plan to expand LNG bunkering services across all commercial ports in Abu Dhabi, including cruise operations at Zayed Port.

This expansion will be part of a broader fuel offering that also includes Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO), Marine Gas Oil (MGO), and High-Sulfur Fuel Oil (HSFO).

This milestone further cements AD Ports Group’s role in driving the maritime sector’s transition to cleaner fuels, supporting the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategy and reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s leadership in the global energy transition.
