LNG as a Bunker Fuel Market, by Vessel Type (Offshore Tugs & Services, Ferries, Oil & Chemical Tankers, Container Ships, Gas Carriers, General Cargo, and Others), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028

LNG as a fuel results in the vast reduction in pollutant caused by the more traditional method of fuelling ships including marine diesel fuel (MDO), heavy fuel oil, and marine gas oil (MGO). The LNG bunkering between ship to ship or shore to ship is done by using a QC (Quick Connect Disconnect) coupling.
Market Dynamics
Various advantages offered by LNG is driving the target market growth. Various end users are expected to focus on replacing conventional fuels such as marine diesel oil (MDO) and heavy fuel oils (HFO) with LNG. LNG has high combustion efficiency, lower volume compared to natural gas, emits 90% less nitrogen oxides (NOx) than MDO and HFO, and has virtually no particulate matter and sulphur oxides emissions. This has led to rampant adoption of LNG as a fuel across the marine industry.
For instance, according to the World Ports Climate Initiative, regulations regarding sulfur content in fuel and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are becoming stricter in the marine industry. Moreover, in April 2018, International Maritime Organization, operates as an agency within the United Nations, had set targets to cut the shipping sector's overall CO2 output by 50% by 2050. By using LNG as a fuel, CO2 emissions can be reduced as emission factor of LNG is only 2.75 (g/g of fuel), whereas emission factors of other conventional fuels such as HFO and MDO are 3.114 and 3.206 respectively.
Key players in the market are focusing on various strategies such as collaborations. For instance, in September 2019, Gazprom, Gazpromneft Marine Bunker (subsidiary of Gazprom), and United Shipbuilding Corporation (shipbuilding company in Russia) entered into a partnership to expand use of LNG as a fuel for marine transport in Russia. The parties cooperated to develop LNG powered ships and building infrastructure for LNG bunkering.
