Gas Fuelled Ships Conference 2012
Event Description
Increasingly tough environmental regulations mean that further investment to reduce emissions is needed now. However, green issues and environmental legislation potentially increase costs; switching to cleaner fuels could be the solution and, with an abundant supply of natural gas, LNG is becoming the most promising maritime fuel. LNG is price-competitive with fuel oils but investment in the gas supply chain is needed to encourage wider use by shipping. Changing to alternative fuels also brings about other areas for development such as ship architecture and the safety aspects for storage and handling of gas on board ships.
