The FUND is financed by its members paying NOK 4 per kg NOx emitted, encouraged by the exemption from the Norwegian NOx Tax of NOK 16 per kg NOx emitted. NOx fund has granted funding to two supply vessels / three passenger ferries and one gas carrier, and fifteen (15) additional LNG fuelled vessels have been granted funding. LNG fuelled ships are eligible for NOK 150 per kg NOx yearly emission reductions, limited to 75%of the additional cost of LNG propulsion. What's CURRENTand What's NEXT!

This ferry has been operating safely and successfully ever since. Over the years that have followed, shipping has seen bunker prices rise sharply and environmental regula- tions tighten, while in the LNG sector there has been a surge in production and deployment of infrastructure. Combined, these trends have set the stage for LNG to emerge as a viable fuel choice on a much larger scale. In 2014 the industry hit a significant milestone with over 120 LNG-fuelled ships in operation or on order worldwide. They range from passenger ferries, Coast Guard ships, containerships and Con-Ro vessels to Dr Gerd-Michael Wuersig tankers and platform supply vessels.

  • Assessment of Innovative Small Scale Lng Carrier Concepts
    ASSESSMENT OF INNOVATIVE SMALL SCALE LNG CARRIER CONCEPTS Carlos Guerrero, Global Market Leader, Tankers and Gas Carriers Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore Carlos Guerrero, Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Sophisticated liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers for break bulk distribution commonly known as small scale LNG carriers have been developed for many years already. The first modern designs are in service for more than one decade. Although this market segment represent less than one per cent of the total shipping capacity, it is still a high value fleet taking into account the unitary cost of small scale carriers. The concept of small scale LNG carrier has further developed in the past few years due to new developments linked to the distribution of LNG as a marine bunker fuel. LNG as a marine fuel is step by step taking a relevant position as one of the most interesting solution to comply with stringent environmental regulations for shipping. The global cap of 0,5% of sulphur content in marine fuels established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will possibly drive shipowners to consider clean fuels instead of exhaust gas abatement systems in the horizon of 2020. As a consequence additional LNG bunker supply capacity is required to satisfy the demand and it is expected that new small scale carriers dedicated to deliver this bunker fuel will be deployed in the most important bunkering hubs all over the world. In fact several small scale LNG ships below 10,000 cubic meters have recently entered into service with LNG bunkering ability. These ships are more innovative than standard small LNG carriers and have been designed and built to perform break bulk LNG distribution but mainly distribution of LNG as a bunker fuel.

  • Oil and Gas News Briefs, April 18, 2019
    Oil and Gas News Briefs Compiled by Larry Persily April 18, 2019 Qatar invites three bidders for LNG expansion engineering work (S&P Global Platts; April 15) - State-owned Qatar Petroleum on April 15 invited bids for an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract on its North Field gas production expansion project. The tender package has been issued to three EPC consortiums: one comprising Japan's Chiyoda Corp. and France's Technip, another comprising Japan's JGC Corp. and South Korea's Hyundai Engineering & Construction, and a third comprising Italy's Saipem, U.S.-based McDermott and Taiwan's CTCI Corp. The EPC contract includes building four new liquefaction mega-trains, which will also produce liquefied petroleum gas (propane and butane), a helium plant and supporting infrastructure. The contract is scheduled for award in January 2020. The expansion is part of Qatar's plan to boost its LNG output to a world-leading 110 million tonnes a year by 2024 from 77 million tonnes now. Qatar is one of the most dominant suppliers in the world, though new projects in Australia and the U.S. have eroded Qatar’s market share. First output from the new liquefaction trains is targeted to start in 2023, when the LNG market is expected to be significantly tighter than it is now. New wave of LNG construction could encounter inflation and delays (Bloomberg; April 15) - The world’s biggest energy companies are finally ready to invest in new liquefied gas export projects. Now they just need to figure out who will build them, and for how much.
