LNG BUNKERING FOR BELGIUM

摘要

While LNG is seen as an environmentally sound fuel for the propulsion of ships, there has been a problem in the lack of the provision of bunkering facilities, limiting the areas where this development can be used. Now, however, there are indications that this is beginning to change. In particular the Norwegian classification society DNV has won a contract from the Flemish government to undertake a fea sibility study for the provision of LNG bunkering facilities at the ports of Antwerp, Zeebrugge and Ghent in Belgium. The work will consist of a market survey, a risk and safety analysis, and modelling of the logistics, legal and regulatory requirements needed to establish LNG bunkering infrastructure at the ports.
