SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A brand new partnership between U.S. maritime corporate Crowley and Spain-based Naturgy Power Crew introduced Tuesday is anticipated to extend the volume of liquified herbal gasoline shipped to Puerto Rico because it struggles with persistent energy outages.
A tanker in a position to handing over greater than 34 million gallons (129 million liters) of liquified herbal gasoline is scheduled to make its first commute to the U.S. territory this month as a part of a multi-year deal between the 2 firms. Main points of the partnership weren’t disclosed.
It’s the first home tanker to ship liquefied herbal gasoline sourced within the U.S. mainland to Puerto Rico. It’s anticipated to shuttle to the island each two weeks.
Gov. Jenniffer González mentioned the tanker “marks a vital step for gas provide reliability in Puerto Rico for our power grid.”
Recently, container ships ship smaller quantities of liquefied herbal gasoline to Puerto Rico.
