The use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as marine fuel for ships is underway in its promotion by an EU clean fuels pilot project. is underway to promote the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as marine fuel for ships.
The aspiring hopes for the Marine Fuel Gas Logistics project (Magalog) to take off as industry players begin showing interest amid growing international pressure for shipping to clean up its emissions. The main aim of Magalog is to encourage the design, construction and use of ships capable of running on LNG, which offers massive emission reductions compared to conventional bunkers. There are many potential applications for LNG. It could be used in short sea shipping, fishing vessels or by the coast guard. Experts says that LNG as a ship fuel is very suitable for vessels operating on the same route for long periods, such as ferries and vessels engaged in coastal and inland work. LNG also offers economic advantages such as making coolers or pre heating of engines redundant. The success of LNG as a ship fuel will finally come down to price and the support of government in the form of funds and help for the LNG infrastructure to meet ships refueling needs.
