LNG

April 16 (LNGJ) - The United Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO) based in London has adopted an initial strategy on the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions by 50 percent from ships by 2050. The measure is in addition to the cap on sulphur-oxide content in fuel from 2020 that will lead to more use of LNG, exhaust-cleaning systems and low-emission fuels. The UK Chamber of Shipping praised the latest IMO agreement to reduce emissions. “Shipping moves 90 percent of global trade and people understand the link between trade and prosperity, but rightly they demand we do it in a sustainable and responsible way,” said the UK shipping industry statement.
