Poseidon Med II: setting the scene for LNG as marine fuel in East Med
University of Nicosia, Cyprus October, 18th 2018
LNG: From Ferry-tale to Reality
119 LNG-powered vessels in operation; 125 on order; 114 LNG ready ships in operation/order (Source: Sea/LNG)
7 orders for Carnival cruise LNG-powered, newbuilds planned for Royal Caribbean and P&O Cruises
by 2018 there will be 6 LNG bunker vessels in service globally (Source: Sea/LNG)
78 liquefaction plants in 18 countries; 30 under construction; 114 regasification plants in 34 countries; 19 under construction
Top 10 conventional oil bunkering ports – 9 offer LNG bunkering or have firm plans and proposals to offer it by 2020
