The 2nd Gas Fuelled Ships Conference, held in association with The Motorship, saw a full house of architects, shipyards, designers, shipowners, ship managers, agents, classification societies and manufacturers coming together to discuss and exchange ideas on the use of LNG as a fuel for ships.  

Increasingly tough environmental regulations mean that further investment to reduce emissions is needed now. However, green issues and environmental legislation potentially increase costs; switching to cleaner fuels could be the solution and, with an abundant supply of natural gas, LNG is becoming the most promising maritime fuel.
