Astomos Energy Corporation (“Astomos”) and Elgas Limited (“Elgas”) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (”MOU”) for the further study of LPG as a ship bunker fuel.
According to Astomos, LPG bunkering is a possible solution to meet the International Maritime Organization (IMO) shipping fuels SOx limit of 0.5% from 2020.
“This MOU will enhance cooperation between Astomos and Elgas across all aspects of LPG bunkering including the sharing of information, research and development and collaboration in securing global supply sites for LPG bunkering within the Asia Pacific,” Astomos said in its announcement.
Astomos has signed another MoU for LPG bunkering with Statoil, back in June.
