And throughout those first two decades I took pleasure in informing the readers of my own publications about the role and sterling work of the Society. Since 2002 my path has been firmly aligned with that of the Society, as that is the year in which I started editing the biannual SIGTTO News newsletter, with Issue No 7. We replaced what had been launched in 1998 as a publication with a few pages of typed text and inset photos with a 12- page, full-colour, typeset periodical. More recently, we have done a similar upgrading job on the SIGTTO Annual Reports. Shortly after the appearance of the Time to celebrate! revamped newsletter, SIGTTO issued two special Supplement publications, i.e. Reminiscences of the Pioneering Days of LNG Transport by William duBarry Thomas and Alex Pastuhov in 2003 and Bulk Liquefied Gas by Sea: The SIGTTO Early Years by former Society General C Manager Robin Gray in 2004.

  • Ferry LNG Study Draft Final Report
    Evaluating the Use of Liquefied Natural Gas in Washington State Ferries Draft Final Report Prepared For: Joint Transportation Committee Consultant Team Cedar River Group John Boylston January 2012 Joint Transportation Committee Mary Fleckenstein P.O. Box 40937 Olympia, WA 98504‐0937 (360) 786‐7312 [email protected] Cedar River Group Kathy Scanlan 755 Winslow Way E, Suite 202 Bainbridge Island, WA 98110 (206) 451‐4452 [email protected] The cover photo shows the Norwegian ferry operator Fjord1's newest LNG fueled ferry. Joint Transportation Committee LNG as an Energy Source for Vessel Propulsion EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2011 Legislature directed the Joint Transportation Committee to investigate the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) on existing Washington State Ferry (WSF) vessels as well as the new 144‐car class vessels and report to the Legislature by December 31, 2011 (ESHB 1175 204 (5)); (Chapter 367, 2011 Laws, PV). Liquefied natural gas (LNG) provides an opportunity to significantly reduce WSF fuel costs and can also have a positive environmental effect by eliminating sulfur oxide and particulate matter emissions and reducing carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions from WSF vessels. This report recommends that the Legislature consider transitioning from diesel fuel to liquefied natural gas for WSF vessels, making LNG vessel project funding decisions in the context of an overall LNG strategic operation, business, and vessel deployment and acquisition analysis. The report addresses the following questions: Security. What, if any, impact will the conversion to LNG fueled vessels have on the WSF Alternative Security Plan? Vessel acquisition and deployment plan. What are the implications of LNG for the vessel acquisition and deployment plan? Vessel design and construction.

Perspectives and improvements on their environmental efficiency. ii Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to my supervisor Dr. Francesc Xavier Martínez de Osés for his accessibility and continuous support of my master’s thesis, for his wise advice and suggestions, which guided me throughout the development of this paper, and also for sharing with me his immense knowledge about marine pollution and maritime activities. Second, I would like to make special mention to my grandparents, Llorenç Sastre and Jeroni Sampol, with whom I will forever be grateful for bringing me up in my infancy, instilling their outlook on life and essential values on me and their undying love for me. Third, I would like to thank my parents for providing me with all the things that a child can ever deserve and for their attention and support in the good times and most important in the bad ones. To my father for his unceasing encouragement to achieve my academic and career goals, and my mother for her dedication and patience during my adolescence. Then, I would like to thank my university colleague, Eduardo Sáenz, for his feedback, understanding about maritime subjects related to my study and of course long-life friendship.

Abstract This report examines the potential effects of short sea shipping (SSS) development on the Texas transportation system. The project region includes Texas, Mexico, and Central America. In the international arena, the most likely prospects are for containerized shipments using small container ships. In the domestic arena, the most likely prospects are for coastwise shipments using modified offshore service vessels or articulated tug/barges. Only three Texas ports handle containers consistently (Houston accounts for 95% of the total), and three more handle containers sporadically.

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.
