LNG

Nippon Kaiji Kyokai, the Japanese maritime classification society, has issued its latest survey guidelines for facilities and equipment on liquefied natural gas bunkering vessels supplying fuel to LNG-powered ships at sea.

A coalition of energy and shipping companies backing the increased use of liquefied natural gas as a maritime fuel said it strongly supported the decision by the International Maritime Organization to reaffirm the January 2020 implementation date of the sulfur cap on ship fuel.
