PROJECTS IN PROGRESS
LNG-Fueled Vessels
LNG is of interest to both ship operators and ports because it reduces or eliminates many of the emissions targeted by current and future IMO measures to make shipping cleaner. For example, LNG eliminates entirely sulphur emissions and particulate matter emissions are close to zero. Furthermore, LNG has been reported to reduce NOx by 80-90% and CO2 emissions by 26%
The goal of the LNG-Fueled Vessels Theme is to develop guidelines and/or assess the possible impact at ports with regard to infrastructure, safety requirements for bunkering and the legal aspects of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as an alternative fuel to conventional fuels for ships.
Project Port: To Be Determined
Participating Ports: Port of Amsterdam, Port of Oslo, Port of Los Angeles
