Exmar will remain a logistics provider and should not stray into the product whether it is LPG or LNG, chairman and managing director Nicolas Saverys believes.

The exception might be, for example, a move to deliver floating power, but only at a customer’s request, he says. “We are bringing added value to the product. But we stay in logistics.”

He is concerned about shipping’s reputation, even for vessels lifting or fuelled by a cleaner fossil fuel like LNG.
