Despite that some voices have recently and in the past try to present a limited use of LNG in the future alternative fuel mix, noting that its benefits are not enough to support carbon reduction goals, the reality is much different. LNG is becoming a much more...
SEA-LNG and SGMF commissioned an update to the Lifecycle GHG Emission Study on the use of LNG as a Marine Fuel. Conducted to stringent ISO standards by independent specialist consultants, Sphera (formerly thinkstep), the study is peer-reviewed by a panel of internationally-recognised academic experts. The research...
A joint industry project (JIP) has quantified the financial and environmental performance of certain fuel alternatives and technologies in order to define ‘realistic carbon-robust pathways’ for MR and LR2 tankers. The project involved participation from DNV, ship designer Deltamarin, Minerva Marine as a vessel manager, and...
Bio-LNG provides competitive advantage, providing favourable finance longer through greater emissions reductions Analysis from SEA-LNG, the coalition for accelerating LNG as a marine fuel, has determined that for every 10% of bio-LNG dropped in and blended with LNG as a marine fuel, a vessel can achieve...
probunkers signed The Neptune Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew Change in a worldwide call to take action to end the unprecedented crew change crisis caused by Covid-19. The signatories recognize that we have a shared responsibility to ensure that the current crew change crisis...
Twelve months ago, some analysts predicted that the impact of IMO 2020 could be as momentous as when ships’ switched fuel type from coal to fuel oil. They often went on to predict widespread availability issues, compatibility problems, and high prices. With the exception of...
Athens, Greece, December 16th, 2020 – probunkers responded to the Request for Proposal (RFP) of The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) for new licensees for supply of LNG as a marine fuel in the port of Singapore. The submission request for an LNG bunkering...
New analysis from SEA-LNG demonstrates how ship assets opting for LNG can benefit for up to eight years of emissions compliance for preferable asset financing versus conventional vessel fuels like HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO. LNG fuel delivers up to 28% lower CO2 profile from tank to...
ABS Chairman, President and CEO Breaks Down Future Fuel Choices for Shipowners LNG and hydrogen are viewed as frontrunners to be the fuels that will help shipping reach IMO decarbonization ambitions, according to a new ABS survey. LNG was the solution to the 2050 emissions target for...
probunkers supports SEA-LNG report regarding LNG as fuel viability: "Waiting for a “utopian solution” risks locking the maritime industry into the highly polluting conventional oil-based marine fuels for years, if not decades, to come. Today, and for the foreseeable future, LNG is the only viable fuel for deep-sea...
