The SEA-LNG team will be out in force at this year's LNG Bunkering North America Summit 2024! Our chairman, Peter Keller, will be moderating a discussion with SEA-LNG members Seaside LNG and Pivotal LNG on Tuesday, 19 November, at 09:00 AM local time. This discussion will shed light on collective efforts to scale up LNG in North America, on LNG use as a cleaner marine fuel, and why industry leaders need to stay informed about the latest LNG developments. With the LNG pathway emerging as the most viable route to decarbonisation for many ship operators in America, the market is also witnessing significant growth in LNG bunkering infrastructure, making it crucial for stakeholders to understand the implications.    This event will be a key forum for discussing everything from US policy predictions to small operator perspectives on LNG infrastructure with stakeholders across the LNG value chain. This is especially important as the sector seeks to decarbonise its operations and reduce local, harmful emissions.    Register now to save $500 on your pass: https://lnkd.in/ezSWJesS    #LNGBunkeringNA #LNG #LNGNA

📢 Another industry-first! We have completed the first-ever LNG bunkering operation by ship in the port of Cuxhaven. Our bunker vessel ‘Optimus’ swiftly, safely and successfully delivered LNG to the dredger ‘Vox Ariane,’ operated by long-term client Van Oord. Our ship-to-ship bunkering in Cuxhaven represents a pioneering step in the region's LNG infrastructure development, as the port had previously only seen LNG operations conducted via truck and currently only permits LNG bunkering at one berth. LNG infrastructure development is part of a broader trend, with more ports across Germany adopting LNG operations to support shipping’s clean fuels transition. Improved LNG bunkering capabilities in Cuxhaven, a Niedersachsen Ports GmbH & Co. KG port, also open up the pathway to maritime decarbonisation via liquified biomethane (LBM) and then renewable e-methane going forwards.

The future of ocean transportation is LNG!

Hey Cruise Community! 🚢 Ever wondered about LNG? It's a term you'll often hear in the cruise industry but may not fully grasp. Today, we're shedding light on what LNG really is. 🌟 Stick with us to uncover its secrets and understand why it matters in cruising. 🍋 Let's get started! #LNG #Cruiseindustry #Sustainability

The final stages of any complex ship are always difficult - the ~28 day window needed to cool and dry the liquid side of the LNG system is a well known part of these systems, highlighting again the learning that FMPG is still going through with this "first" in the UK. https://lnkd.in/eKnebbNE

🚢 A Day in the Life Onboard an LNG Vessel 🚢 Just posted a new video showcasing a working day aboard this impressive LNG carrier! The operational systems are remarkable and cutting-edge, but they demand strict adherence to safety protocols to ensure the safety of the crew, cargo, and environment. 🌍🔧 As the industry evaluates the benefits of LNG—like reduced emissions compared to other fossil fuels—we must also weigh its environmental impacts and challenges. 🌱⚖️ What’s your take on LNG as a transitional energy source? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! 👇 #LNG #MaritimeSafety #SustainableShipping #EnergyTransition #Environment

The rise of LNG-powered ships is a big move towards cleaner shipping. With over 1,100 LNG-fueled vessels expected by 2028, it's clear that the industry is focusing on reducing emissions while keeping global trade efficient. This is a positive step for sustainable shipping and the future of the maritime industry.

Take a look at this interesting article from Riviera, which dives into an important question: is it the right time for us to start thinking about standardizing LNG bunker vessels? The article examines the progress of LNG as a marine fuel but also highlights the challenges involved with the journey to standardization.

#lng #fleet Industry coalition SEA-LNG has unveiled that over 2,000 of the world’s 60,000 largest vessels will be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the near future, as LNG-fueled vessels keep increasing their share of the global fleet. According to SEA-LNG, active LNG-fueled vessels now represent over 2% of the global shipping fleet. When factoring in vessels on order, this figure rises to 4% by number and 6% by deadweight tonnage (DWT). Nearly every day, fleet owners announce new investments in LNG-powered ships. The number of LNG-fueled vessels has surged from just 21 in operation in 2010—mostly smaller, regionally operating ships—to 590 globally today, including some of the world’s largest containerships, which are now twice the size of those operating a decade ago. With an additional 564 vessels on order, the total is expected to reach 1,154 by the end of 2028. Source: #offhsoreenergybiz ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dR5fxdAH
