Sustainable Bunkering Service: LNG and Alternative Marine Fuels
With growing environmental concerns, industries are imposing strict regulations on transport processes. The maritime industry is also rapidly adapting to these environmental changes. New regulations and climate concerns have made shipping companies rethink their fuel choices. Bunkering service , also known as the process of supplying fuel to ships, is an important part of maritime transportation, as any change in fuel choice directly impacts the environment.
