Whether you’ve already made that choice or are still exploring the possibilities. In over fifty years of work with gas, beginning with cargo and expanding into LNG as fuel, we’ve developed the equipment, knowledge and services to bring you effective solutions. The use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel is expected to rise in the approach to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) global sulphur cap. In this liquid phase, the volume of the LNG is reduced by a factor of 600 and can be stored and transported at low temperatures. However, LNG as a marine fuel is not without its drawbacks. Bunkering, storage and handling takes much more care and presents very different risks to those of traditional marine fuels. Making a vessel LNG-ready requires significant investment – from installing gas (or dual fuel) engines, to additional storage requirements. Also, the global warming potential (GWP) of methane is more than twenty times that of CO2, which will be an issue if excessive ‘methane-slip’ is experienced in the engines.
