After the recent study from UCL, that explored LNG capable ships, SEA-LNG said that it is "a flawed academic exercise, detached from reality."

A new UCL study, released at the Marine Money conference taking place during New York Climate Week, found that, if policies that incentivise shipping to decarbonise in line with the Paris Agreement were in place by the end of the decade, the LNG-capable fleet would compete with zero emissions shipping, whilst also being incentivised to switch away from the use of fossil fuel.

ICCT published a report, focusing on ships trading with the European Union, predicts a tripling of demand for LNG as marine fuel between 2019 and 2030, based on trends in fuel consumption.

ZIM announced the signing of a ten-year marine LNG sales and purchase agreement, valued at more than one billion US Dollars, with Shell to supply ten LNG-fueled vessels that will be deployed on ZIM's flagship ZIM Container Service Pacific (ZCP), on the Asia to USEC trade.

ABS published the white paper "Sustainability Whitepaper: LNG as Marine Fuel" in which it discusses the growing concern surrounding methane and the potential for future regulations for methane slip.

LNG is the best fuel option for owners considering how to extend vessel life and secure CII compliance through retrofit, according to SEA-LNG.

SIGTTO published a report to provide guidance to assist the gas shipping industry in its efforts to reduce methane emissions from LNG carriers.
