March 13, 2026. A new state-of-the-art LNG bunkering vessel, the Alisios LNG, was launched at the port of Huelva in southwestern Spain by Enagás CEO Arturo Gonzalo and Axpo Iberia Managing Director Ignacio Soneira. The vessel will operate along the southern coast of the Iberian Peninsula and promote the use of LNG and Bio-LNG as transitional fuels for maritime transport. Owned by Enagás through its Scale Green Energy subsidiary, the Alisios LNG has been chartered by Axpo for commercial use.
New bunkering vessel Alisios LNG will supply low-emissions marine fuels across southern Iberia.
The 12,500 cubic meters capacity vessel supports the transition towards the decarbonization of maritime transport, enabling the growing use of LNG and Bio-LNG by the sector.
The project strengthens the roles of Enagás and Axpo in the energy transition, expanding their LNG bunkering capacity.
Working from one of its loading terminals in Spain, the Alisios LNG incorporates advanced technology to minimize emissions during operations. Supplying both LNG and Bio-LNG for maritime transport, the vessel will help further the transition towards the decarbonization of the maritime sector.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Enagás CEO Arturo Gonzalo said: “Today’s launch is a key milestone in the development of infrastructure that contributes to the decarbonization of the maritime sector. The adoption of more sustainable fuels, such as LNG and Bio-LNG, also supports compliance with European emission reduction targets.”
Axpo Iberia Managing Director Ignacio Soneira added: “Commissioning this new vessel further consolidates Axpo’s leadership in the small-scale LNG bunkering business as we continue our efforts to help the transition to decarbonize maritime transport.”
Able to carry cargoes of both LNG and Bio-LNG, the Alisios LNG has a storage capacity of 12,500 cubic meters, enabling it to respond effectively to customers’ supply requirements. The vessel’s advanced control systems give greater manoeuvrability, allowing it to operate in a variety of different port environments. Equipped with technology designed to maintain its cargo in the best condition throughout the voyage, the Alisios LNG is a versatile, efficient and reliable vessel for the supply of more sustainable fuels.
