IS LNG AN INTERMEDIATE OR A LONG-TERM OPTION? What about LPG?
LNG is the cleanest fossil fuel, allowing companies to lower their sulfur emissions and position themselves closer to their overall sustainability goals, while also helping make their fleet more attractive to charterers and achieve competitive time charters. What are the commercial benefits and challenges of choosing LNG as a fuel, and how can LNG help a company align more effectively with its commercial objectives and sustainability strategy? Is LNG an intermediate solution, or can it continue to be used in the future? This is an especially relevant topic for companies which place newbuilding orders for assets that have a long economic life.
