One of the best ways for shipping lines to get round the forthcoming ban on high-sulphur marine fuels is to switch to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). As a fuel it’s virtually emission-free, but its widespread adoption has been hitherto inhibited by its being more costly than the heavy fuel oil that vessels burn while on the ocean; as well as the extremely limited number of bunkering facilities.
