Abstract The Action prepares engineering studies and plans, as well as construction drawings of 4 LNG retrofitted prototype vessels, and 7 LNG bunkering stations at core ports (5 prototype stations in Koper, Genova, La Spezia, Livorno, Venezia, and 2 fully operational LNG break-bulking stations in Nantes-St Nazaire, and Fos- Marseille). The Action is part of the GAINN Global Project. Its activities include: final engineering projects of prototypes and pilots; prototyping; real life trials and pilots; building two LNG break-bulking stations in Nantes - St Nazaire and Fos - Marseille; communication and coordination. Successful completion of the Action will advance the Global Project, and will act as leverage for launching other mature, technically and socio-economically viable implementation actions for LNG bunkering in the Mediterranean by 2020.
