LNG the most viable alternative fuel, new report says

SEALNG published the results of a new alternative fuels study, finding that LNG is the most mature, scalable, and commercially viable alternative fuel currently available for the maritime industry. The study was conducted by DNV GL.

The study concluded that while there are several lower or zero carbon alternative fuels that could assist in complying with IMO 2030 and 2050 GHG reduction targets, many of these alternatives require significant development to meet the industry’s needs.

Infographic: LNG reduces GHG emissions by 21%

SEALNG and SGMF launched a study according to which GHG reductions of up to 21% are achievable now from LNG as a marine fuel, in comparison to the existent oil-based marine fuels over the entire life-cycle from Well-to-Wake (WtW). The study also confirms that emissions from sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), are close to zero when using LNG compared with current conventional oil-based marine fuels.

LNG, the forgotten fuel, makes its case as the ‘greenest’ alternative to oil

LNG is the most environmentally friendly, readily available fuel for shipping today – and in the foreseeable future, according to a new study.
With the IMO’s 0.5% sulphur cap regulations coming into force next January, along with its target of halving C02 emissions from shipping by 2050, decisions need to be taken on alternative fuels.
At today’s launch in London of an independent study, commissioned by the not-for-profit collaborative industry foundation SEA/LNG, …

Port of Vancouver enters SEA/LNG

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has joined SEALNG, the multi-sector industry coalition aiming to accelerate the widespread adoption of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel.

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is the federal agency of the Port of Vancouver, Canada’s largest port, and the fourth port member to join the coalition, alongside Port of Rotterdam, Yokohama-Kawasaki International Port Corporation (YKIP), and most recently the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)....

LNG meets IMO’s GHG reduction goals

SEA/LNG announced that is firmly supports that LNG is a viable pathway to be in line with IMO’s 2020 GHG targets. The shipping sector has two important paths two follow. Firstly, the industry aims to a rapid improvement of air quality. Secondly, the decrease of GHG emissions is vital.

SEALNG in collaboration with SGMF has commissioned an independent study to establish the facts regarding GHG emissions from LNG as a marine fuel considering all emissions from well-to-wake for LNG and other fuels.

LNG the fuel of the future for box ships on cost, but is there a cleaner solution?

LNG delivers the best return on investment (ROI) for container shipping lines, according to a new study, commissioned by the collaborative industry foundation SEALNG.
The study analysed the case of a newbuild 14,000 teu vessel deployed on the Asia-US west coast transpacific trade and compares six fuel price scenarios, one featuring the installation of exhaust gas cleaning systems, known as scrubbers.
According to the report, LNG delivers the best ROI, with a …

LNG can be a compelling investment, report notes

SEALNG released a study revealing a strong investment case for LNG as a marine fuel in the container shipping market. Peter Keller, Chairman, SEALNG, noted that the results show that for this type of vessel, LNG can deliver the best return on investment on a net present value (NPV) basis over a conservative 10-year horizon.

Namely, the study analysed the case of a newbuild 14,000 TEU container vessel operating on an Asia-US West Coast (USWC) liner routing and compared six fuel pricing scenarios.

MPA Singapore joins SEALNG

SEALNG, the coalition aiming to accelerate the widespread adoption of LNG as a marine fuel, announced that it has welcomed the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) to its membership coalition.

The MPA became the third port member to join the coalition, after the Port of Rotterdam and Yokohama-Kawasaki International Port Corporation (YKIP).

MPA has already launched its LNG Bunkering Pilot Programme (LBPP) since 2017 to trial operational protocols and gather experience to ensure LNG...
