Energy transition creates new opportunities for gas shipping

摘要

Face-to-face meetings, regional forums, panel sessions and technical committees represent a large part of SIGTTO's engagement with its membership. During the pandemic, this engagement has continued through a series of member webinars. On 15 April, SIGTTO hosted our first ever virtual panel meeting with a very interesting and exciting agenda, including the Panama Canal Authority presenting on the lessons learnt from over four years of large gas carrier transits through the new locks and MOL discussing its gas-to-power projects. Over 300 members registered for this event and we have received a lot of positive feedback. The platform allowed members to network with each other and to view the presentations "on demand" in case they wished to review or missed the live stream. Of the 10 presentations, three were, unsurprisingly, regarding decarbonisation and the carriage of non-hydrocarbon gases as cargo.
