Market uptake. LNG has been a fuel option for a long time – with the first trials reaching back to the 1970’s. However, up until a few years ago, as a ship fuel LNG has been confined to LNG carriers – utilising the boil of gas from their cargo - and smaller vessels like ferries, OSVs and other coastal tonnage.
Jan 19, 2024 · SEA-LNG shared its overview of LNG as a marine fuel in 2022-2024, highlighting that during 2023 attitudes towards decarbonisation shifted from theoretical discussions about what might work tomorrow to what works today and how much does it cost. At the IMO in July, the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 80) adopted a revised GHG ...

Besides the members of SEA-LNG, there is a range of shipping companies that already operate or have ordered new ships with LNG-ready or fully LNG-burning engines. SEA-LNG reports that, based on shipping data delivered by DNV, there are 316 LNG-operated ships in operation at the moment with another 511 on order. 229 LNG-ready ships are currently in ...
The clean transport NGO Transport & Environment (T&E)expects that by 2030, a quarter of EU shipping will run on LNG, locking in fossil fuels for decades. According to T&E, the actual EU policies to clean up shipping will lead to replacement of conventional marine fuels with fossil LNG, with little benefit to the climate. ‘The old narrative of gas a...
But perhaps the biggest blow to the shipping industry came on 22 September when studies from UCL’s Energy Institute and the International Council on Clean Transportation highlighted the potentially heavy cost and environmental impact of LNG as a transition fuel. With multiple market forces fuelling an orderbook increasingly made up of LNG-fuelled s...
In response to the UCL report, SEA-LNG called the case study a flawed academic exercise, detached from reality. ‘In setting out a framework for their analysis, the authors make innumerable contestable and unsupported statements. Somewhat confusingly, given the focus of their paper on stranded value risk, they ignore the fact that LNG dual-fuel engi...
In the meantime, a coalition of top shipping names has launched a project to identify, accelerate and advocate technology solutions to measure and manage methane emissions. Maran Gas Maritime, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), Carnival Corporation, Seaspan, Shell, Lloyd’s Register and Knutsen have come on board the Methane Abatement in Maritime...
In addition, Shell itself is testing and plans to adopt the latest abatement technology available on its own ships to mitigate emissions of the most potent greenhouse gases in shipping. Regulators are increasingly examining the contribution of methane to greenhouse gas emissions in shipping as the number of ships powered by LNG – which is liquefied...

bioLNG bunkers in Rotterdam, the biggest marine fuel bunkering hub in Europe, and in a number of North Sea and Baltic Sea ports. No changes are needed on board the vessel for its safe use. The world’s largest LNG-fuelled vessel, the CMA CGM Jacques Saade used a 13% BioLNG mix when refuelling in Rotterdam as early as 2020.
