Feasibility Study Completed for LNG Bunkering at Naples
Autorità di Sistema Portuale Mar Tirreno Centrale (AdSP) says that, along with the University of Campania, it has carried out a feasibility study for the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering at the port of Naples.
With the study now complete, the authority says on January 26 it will publish a request for expression of interest to assess potential operators looking to support and invest in such a development.
Ultimately, AdSP aims to issue a license for the subsequent construction of the facility.
Interested parties can contact the Authority by email at presidente@porto.napoli.it for further information.
After a relatively underwhelming few years in the development of LNG as a marine fuel, 2017 saw a number of important developments that lead Society for Gas as a Marine Fuel (SGMF) General Manager Mark Bell to predict that 2018 will be a "tipping year" for gas-fuelled shipping.
