LNG move

The move to LNG as a fuel is a game changer which cannot be ignored, said Angus Campbell, managing director of Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement UK. “Independent industry predictions indicate the use of LNG as a bunker fuel offers opportunities for early movers to secure a market leading position ashore and afloat, and global LNG fuelling will become a mainstream option. It has happened before”, he said. “Wind gave way to coal and coal in its turn gave way to oil.” Campbell identified this step change will also have a major impact on the refuelling of vessels, requiring a sophisticated supply chain.
