We have never before used a carbon-free fuel on a large vessel without range anxiety. Viking Energy was the first LNG-fueled vessel in Equinor’s fleet in 2003, and the first vessel with hybrid battery power in 2016. Much work remains, but Equinor will contribute both to technology development and as a customer.
