Liquefied natural gas as marine bunker : feasibility and future prospect

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a feasibility analysis on the utilization of LNG as bunker fuel as well as its future prospect. In 2005, Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL Convention) entered into force to regulate the amount of sulphu...

In 2005, Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL Convention) entered into force to regulate the amount of sulphur oxide emission from ships using fuel with sulphur content.
