Driving Factors

The LNG bunkering market in Australia has grown significantly as a result of several important factors. The strategic position of Australia as a major LNG supplier is one of the main contributing reasons. Australia exports its LNG using big LNG tankers, and due to LNG being readily available, refilling LNG ships can save costs and emissions. This is anticipated to drive the need for LNG bunkering facilities in the nation throughout the forecast period. Sulphur rules from the International Marine Organization (IMO) and the increased focus on lowering greenhouse gas emissions in the marine industry are the main drivers of the LNG bunkering market's explosive growth in Australia.  

Restraining Factors

High infrastructure costs, complicated regulations, a lack of LNG bunkering facilities, competition from other fuels, and the requirement for significant investments to develop the supply chain and distribution network are some of the challenges facing the Australia LNG bunkering market.
