LNG

The energy transition in the maritime sector, which aims to reduce emissions and increase the role of renewable energy sources, requires stable and flexible interim solutions. In this context, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is considered as a transitional fuel that enables emissions to be reduced while maintaining the security and continuity of energy supplies. A key role in this process is played by LNG bunkering and delivery vessels, as well as FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit) and FSU (Floating Storage Unit) ships, which allow for the rapid commissioning of LNG storage and regasification capacities without the need for long-term and capital-intensive onshore investments. Their importance is growing especially in regions where dynamic changes in the energy mix force scalable solutions that can be implemented within short time and adapted to future market needs.

Climate changes and the resulting need for energy transition are now undeniable facts. In the light of GHG strategy for maritime transport adopted in 2023 (2023 IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships), decarbonization targets have been adopted for the first time in the history of international maritime sector. 
The priority is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% by 2030, then by 70% till 2040, until net-zero is achieved around 20501.
