Industry coalition SEA-LNG published its annual View from the Bridge report, highlighting 2024 as another year of growth for the LNG pathway.

SEA-LNG analysis showed that LNG dual-fuel vessels provide the lowest compliance cost for meeting EU and IMO decarbonisation regulations.

SEA-LNG notes that while the approximately 2,200 LNG-fuelled vessels and LNG carriers represent only ‘two minutes into the hour’ of the global fleet of approximately 60,000 deep sea vessels, it remains an adolescent fuel that is maturing significantly faster than other alternatives. 

SEA-LNG reports that active LNG-fuelled vessels now account for more than 2% of the global shipping fleet. Once the order book is taken into account, this number increases to 4% by vessel numbers or 6% by deadweight tonnage (DWT).

Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) has joined the SEA-LNG coalition, enhancing its commitment to LNG as a lower-emission marine fuel.

RINA and ROTOBOOST have joined the SEA-LNG coalition to offer their input to boost SEA-LNG’s reach and expertise across the LNG value chain.

In April 2024, JAX LNG and Seaside LNG conducted the inaugural liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering in the Port of Savannah of CMA CGM SYMI during the ship’s call at the Garden City Terminal. 

The Methanol Institute (MI) and SEA-LNG have expressed their concerns following the recent announcement by the European Commission impacting the trade of biomethane and biomethane-based biofuels such as biomethanol.

SEA LNG has expressed the opinion that analysis presented by ICCT in its recently published study: Fugitive and unburned Methane Emissions from Ships (FUMES), while innovative, suffers from a range of significant methodological limitations.

SEA-LNG has welcomed Seaside LNG, a Houston-based LNG production and maritime transportation logistics provider, as a new member.
