Harvey Gulf International Marine (HGIM) announced Feb. 7 that it has begun to operate one of its tri-fuel vessels exclusively on battery power and renewable liquefied natural gas (RLNG), with diesel fuel as backup, moving closer to becoming the world's first ESG certified oil and gas, vessel operator. RLNG is recaptured swine and dairy farm gas from pigs and cows. The use of RLNG enables the company's dual and tri-fueled RLNG vessels to obtain a Carbon Neutral Certificate for related vessel operations. HGIM owns five 310-foot Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) all of which can operate carbon neutral utilizing Renewable Liquefied Natural Gas, says CEO Shane Guidry. The Louisiana-based Harvey Gulf also announced it has ordered 25 electric trucks for its employee fleet that will replace existing combustion engine vehicles as it continues down the de-carbonization path.
