  "account": "Polish refiner Orlen has entered into a partnership with the Port of Gdynia Authority to evaluate the potential for LNG and bio-LNG bunkering services at the Polish port. This collaboration aims to explore market demand, the development of these services, and the necessary infrastructure, operational conditions, and regulatory requirements. In addition, Orlen and the Port of Gdynia will assess the bunkering needs of shipowners and port users, with a focus on operators of scheduled ferry, container, and ro-ro services. The study will examine various bunkering models, drawing on existing solutions at other European ports, including ship-to-ship bunkering for larger vessels, and the feasibility of bunkering ships alongside while cargo-handling operations are ongoing.\n\nAccording to Orlen's vice president Robert Soszyński, this partnership represents a significant step in expanding the LNG and bio-LNG market in the Tricity area and is part of Orlen's broader plan to transform its fuel portfolio through 2035. The collaboration follows Orlen's commissioning of its Marine Transshipment Terminal at the Gdańsk refinery in August. The terminal began operations by loading marine gas oil (MGO) from the refinery and delivering fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) for biofuel production.",
