    The bunkering vessel will be used to deliver gas to LNG fuelled vessels (ship-to-ship bunkering), mainly based in the vicinity of the port and in other smaller ports in the Aegean and East Mediterranean Sea. The vessel will be constructed and operated in compliance with the European Union (EU) and International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulations and will operate under an EU Member State flag.
