Seaspan Energy Leads the Charge in LNG Bunkering on Canada's West Coast
Canada's West Coast is positioning itself as a major hub for liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering, thanks in part to the efforts of Seaspan Energy. The company, which is a member of the Seaspan Marine group, has completed its 150th ship-to-ship LNG bunkering operation in under two years since launching its operations.
This achievement puts SE seventh overall in Lansdowne Moritz's LNG bunkering volume rankings and highlights the growing demand for dual-fuel ships as maritime shipping seeks to reduce pollution. Seaspan Energy is well-placed to capitalize on this trend, given its fleet of three LNG bunkering ships and its parent company's reputation for innovation.
The global market for alternative fuels in shipping is currently being driven by concerns over fuel availability, regulatory uncertainty, and comparative cost. However, A.P. Moller-Maersk and other top ocean carrier lines remain committed to increasing their fleets' energy efficiency and reducing their carbon footprints.
