Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a clear, colourless, non-toxic and non-corrosive liquid, which is converted to liquid by cooling of natural gas at a cryogenic temperature of -162°C. It largely made from methane, with a low concentration of other hydrocarbons and on liquefaction, occupies only 1/600 space as compared to methane in gaseous form. LNG is not only cleaner-burning, but may have economic advantages since LNG prices are lower than global bunker fuel prices. As a result, there have been recent developments to promote adoption of LNG as a bunker fuel.

Global LNG as a Bunker Fuel Market: Market Dynamics  

According to the latest mandate by International Maritime Organization, the proposed sulphur content limit will be reduced to 0.5% from the current 3.5%, on a global basis effective from 2020. It is proven that use of LNG as ship fuel will reduce sulphur oxide (SOx ) emissions by 90% - 95%. Lower carbon content of LNG compared to conventional ship fuels enables a 20-25% reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which makes it a potential substitute for marine fuels.

In addition, LNG is expected to be less costly than marine gas oil (MGO), which will be required to be used within the ECAs if no other technical measures are implemented to reduce the SOx emissions. Current low LNG prices in Europe and the US suggest that a price - based on energy content - comparable to heavy fuel oil (HFO) seems possible, even when taking into account the small scale distribution of LNG as a bunker fuel.

However, cost and time associated with to retrofitting or  building new LNG engine ship are relatively high. By comparison, SOx scrubbers require a smaller initial investment and take less time to install. Also once installed, LNG-burning system is complex, requiring additional measures to ensure safe operation, maintenance and refueling. Lack of a consistent regulatory framework for safety and security protocols poses an additional problem. SOx scrubbers need relatively little repair and maintenance. LNG also requires more space for storage tanks and as much as 3% of a container ship's twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) slots, thereby directly impacting profitability.

Nonetheless, development of low cost dual-fuel engines by noted players including Wartsila, MAN, Caterpillar, and HiMSEN is in process, which is expected to provide optimal opportunities to LNG manufacturers and suppliers to propel growth of LNG as a bunker fuel in the global market.
