SEA-LNG Says, Every 10% of Bio-LNG Dropped & Blended with LNG

  • SEA-LNG, the coalition for accelerating LNG as a marine fuel has come out with a new finding.
  • It has determined that for every 10% of bio-LNG dropped in and blended with LNG as a marine fuel.
  • A vessel can achieve two extra years’ compliance with the Annual Efficiency Ratio (AER) curve used to secure preferable funding under the Poseidon Principles.
  • This extends the average seven-year additional competitive advantage for Poseidon Principle loans achieved with LNG alone.
