The global demand for LNG Bunkering Market is presumed to reach the valuation of nearly USD XX MN by 2028 from USD XX MN in 2021 with a CAGR of XX% during the period of 2022-2028.
LNG bunkering is the practice of transferring liquefied natural gas to a ship as a fuel for its consumption. Loading LNG into a ship's fuel tank is a different process from loading HFO due to the differences in properties. As LNG is gas at room temperature, it is carried as a boiling liquid and requires special handling of the LNG. LNG is bunkered at cryogenic temperatures so special equipment and procedures are required that follows regulation and standard designed by an organization such as SIGTTO, OCIMF, IMO, ISO, EN, and NFPA.
Market Dynamics
Environment regulators have been putting the pressure on the maritime industry to reduce the amount of carbon emission caused by ship transportation. Attributed to newly imposed sulphur regulation coming into action in Jan 2020, LNG bunkering is projected to grow as a sustainable method of fueling ships. The declaration of new rules by IMO will change the overall outlook of the market. As LNG Bunkering is less pollutant method compared to the other traditional methods of fueling like marine gas oil and heavy fuel oil. Liquefied natural gas has great potential as ship fuel for three reasons: consumption is clean, meets the current and future emission standards, and price-wise LNG is competitive with fuel oil. Yet, most conventional ships will continue to use conventional fuel oil as using LNG require installation of the new system and implement adapted risk. This is estimated to hinder the growth of the market.
