Singapore has urged global hub ports to do more to promote LNG as an alternative fuel source in the face of greater environmental pressures.
Chief Executive of the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) Andrew Tan called on more ports to be ready for LNG bunkering, given the global move towards cleaner shipping and higher environmental standards.
“While the IMO remains in the driver’s seat to drive overall effort to reduce shipping emissions at the international level, at the national level, port authorities also have an important role to play,” said Tan.
