Portland Port & Portland Harbour Authority in South West England is now fully licensed to conduct LNG ship-to-ship transfer operations – a capability that enhances efficiency, flexibility, and convenience for LNG logistics.
The milestone comes as it celebrates 30 years as a privately-operated port, providing reliable, safe and customer-focused solutions.
With this new STS licence, the authority can now support LNG transfers directly at the port, helping reduce transit time, streamline operations, and access a fully compliant and experienced marine infrastructure.
The port is already a well-established and MCA-approved location in which to undertake STS transfers. (April 16, 2026, Source: https://www.lngindustry.com/small-scale-lng/16042026/portland-port-receives-license-to-conduct-lng-ship-to-ship-transfer-operations/)
