Why consider LPG as a fuel? LPG is widely accepted ( land based and marine ) Meeting SOx requirement ( SECA and future global fuel ) Potential fuel cost savings ( cheaper than MGO ) Comparable cost to down stream SOx scrubber solution Flexible fuel utilization to meet future fuel cost variation Retrofit possible Savings of both time and fees for fuel bunkering, when fuel can be taken from cargo tanks. < 22 >
Conclusions Clean gas fuels have a bright future Full dedication to develop superior gas engine technologies Development work is maturing fast for major gas qualities < 23 >
