SGMF coalition has signed a MoU with Australian LNG lobbying group LNG MFI with the view to promote the use of gas in Australasia. Through this new partnership, in return, SGMF commits to promote the Australian example in other regions as part of its programme as it does with the other International groups. SGMF highlights that ‘the elephant in the room for shipping is carbon’ and it needs to act quicker than it ever has before.
”One candidate fuel that could be used as we move towards the use of the cleanest known fuel of hydrogen is in fact Natural Gas, commonly known as LNG in its cryogenic transported state. Shipping has successfully moved this energy around the globe for over 50 years however its very use as a fuel for shipping is another matter entirely” SGMF said.
SGMF is pleased to add LNGMFi to its member noting that Australia is famous for its pristine environment but yet is set to become a ‘Top Tier’ global exporter of Natural Gas whilst still having a significant and strategically important shipping trade, particularly in Dry Bulk.
