Market drivers for LNG as fuel• Emission reduction: new legislation for ECA and SECA-zonesEmission reduction: new legislation for ECA and SECA zones

in Europe (North Sea and Baltic Sea)• Proposed ECA zones for the Mediterranean and US-Coasts,

further areas will follow • LNG is a highly efficient and clean fuel (NOx, CO2, SOx,

particles); LNG price lower than other fuelsparticles); LNG price lower than other fuels• LNG complies with environmental requirements at

competitive pricescompetitive prices

LNG as Fuel – Actual Situation

O ti i f• Operating experience for more than 10 years: small ferries (Norway) and OSVs (North Sea)(Norway) and OSVs (North Sea)

• Bunkering from small bunker station on dedicated jetties or jtrucks

• Dual fuel engines and gas engines are available

• Ship owners: strong interest in dual fuel systems for futuredual fuel systems for future newbuildings – but:

• Bunkering infrastructure for

LNG as Fuel – Development of Rules

IGF G id li i f i 2009 (IMO G id li d l d• IGF-Guideline in force since 2009 (IMO Guideline developed from Norwegian National Regulations) MSC 285(86)

• All Classes have developed Rules for Gas Fueled Vessels• All Classes have developed Rules for Gas Fueled Vessels• IGF-Code under development, target: IMO decision before

2014 (SOLAS Revision)2014 (SOLAS Revision)• Bunkering is not a regulatory task. Code can only address

safety issues on-board the gas fuelled vessels• BLG14 decided to address ship side bunkering issues in

G fLNG fuel gas systems for ships other than gas carriers

• Ship types: Ferries, Ro/Ro, RoPax, passenger, container vessels, etc.,

• A wide range of bunkering/storage/onboard fuel gas processing due to different type/size of ships

• Challenge: integrate LNG system to a ship, where LNG is just a utility, not the cargo

• Technology is available – TGE Marine has developed LNG fuel gas systems for all kinds of b ti d labove mentioned vessels
