It can be executed through several types, such as truck-to-ship, ship-to-ship, and port-to-ship bunkering. There are some very important features that LNG bunkering presents, such as reduced sulfur oxide, superior energy density, and superior combustion efficiency. It is used in a variety of maritime applications, such as container vessels, ferries, cruise ships, and fishing boats, among others. The increase in demand is what mainly supports the growth of the market in LNG bunkering, in view of the stricter emission rules enforced in South Korea. This pushes the industry to opt for cleaner fuel alternatives, such as LNG.
