Italy publishes guidelines for STS bunkering of LNG and bio-LNG
The Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti) has published the “Guidelines for Ship-to-Ship Bunkering of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Bio-LNG in Italian Ports” marking the first time in the European Union that standardized national rules for LNG and Bio-LNG bunkering have been introduced across all ports in a country.
The use of LNG and Bio-LNG in the maritime sector has recently gained significant momentum, as natural gas presents an immediate solution for diversifying traditional fuels. This move aims to reduce CO₂ and NOₓ emissions while eliminating particulate matter (PM) and sulfur oxides (SOₓ) emissions, according to the Ministry.
