The full length video is also available at our Vimeo page. 

Shipping is facing a decarbonization push, and there is a significant amount of interest in LNG as a fuel source. Today many LNG fuelled ships are sailing the oceans, and many more are on order. With increasing LNG fueled vessels, there is also a growing need for appropriate infrastructure to refuel these vessels.

When considering any new or evolving technology, it is essential to have a clear understanding of not only the benefits but the challenges that may be involved.

Watch this recording for a better understanding of the safety, operational and contractual challenges of LNG Bunkering operations, both from the LNG bunker vessel's perspective and the receiving vessel's perspective.
