BHP has tapped energy major Shell to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) for five LNG-fuelled Newcastlemax bulk carriers, which will transport iron-ore between Western Australia and China from 2022.

“The LNG bunkering contract marks a significant step in how BHP is working with our suppliers to reduce emissions across the maritime supply chain,” said BHP chief commercial officer Vandita Pant.

“LNG-fuelled vessels are forecast to help BHP reduce CO2-e emissions by 30% on a per voyage basis, compared [with] a conventionally fuelled voyage between Western Australia and China, and contribute to our 2030 goal to support 40% emissions intensity reduction of BHP-chartered shipping of our products.”
