ADVANCING LNG FOR CLEANER MARINE
Gas4Sea is setting a new direction
in the maritime sector by advancing
liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine
fuel via ship-to-ship transfer.
Under new emission regulations,
LNG offers environmental, regulatory
and economic advantages over
conventional marine fuels. What’s
more, because it is readily available
and affordable, LNG is now the most
viable alternative fuel to drive emission
reduction within the shipping sector.
Gas4Sea is backed by leading global
players in the LNG and shipping
industries: ENGIE, Mitsubishi Corporation
and NYK Line. They hold more than
50 years’ experience in LNG operation.
Thanks to NYK’s shipping expertise,
and the combined LNG supply portfolio
and terminal access of ENGIE and
Mitsubishi Corporation, Gas4Sea
can guarantee a reliable, safe and
cost-effective supply of LNG to
shipping customers around the globe.

Safety Our demanding procedures,
developed through 50 years of
experience, mean that we have an
outstanding track record of safety.
Speed Using ship-to-ship transfer
means that we can fuel-up the largest
of vessels quickly and efficiently.
The transfer can even happen during
the customer cargo operations to
minimise down time.*
*Subject to safety requirements in the port
Quality The quality of LNG we supply
and the quantity of energy delivered
is rigorously tested and monitored.
Availability Gas4Sea gives access to
the LNG portfolios of both ENGIE and
Mitsubishi Corporation, representing
356 TWh (23.8 mtpa) from 12 different
countries, with more projects in
the pipeline.
Environment LNG as marine fuel
significantly reduces emissions
from engine exhaust compared to
conventional oil-based fuels.
It enables ship operators to comply
with the growingly stringent maritime
emissions regulations.

VIA SHIP-TO-SHIP
TRANSFER FROM
GAS4SEA?
Current ECAs
Possible future ECAs
Emission Controlled Areas
The International MARPOL Convention
has set up a calendar for limiting
the main pollutants contained in
ship exhausts. In January 2015, the
International Maritime Organization
(IMO) drastically reduced the emission
limit for ships in Emission Controlled
Areas (ECAs). (ECAs established under
MARPOL Annex VI are coastal areas
off North America for nitrogen oxides,
sulphur oxides and particulate matter,
and the North Sea and Baltic Sea areas
for sulphur oxides).
With a sulphur cap of 0.1%, ships
operating in ECAs must now use fuels
with lower sulphur content such as LNG
or limit sulphur emissions by installing
desulphurisation equipment.
A new global cap on SOx
Outside the ECAs, the IMO is set to
enforce a global cap of 0.5% for sulphur
oxide emissions for all ships by 2020
or 2025*. Furthermore, we see local
government and authorities declaring
implementation of regional emission
regulated zones outside the MARPOL’s
ECAs, even prior to enforcement of the
global cap.
*Subject to a review by IMO on fuel
availability to be completed by 2018
The requirement is for vessels with
a keel-laying date after January
2016, and engine output >= 130 kW

Guaranteed quality control
At Gas4Sea, we draw from the best
practices and guidelines from the
LNG industry to control quality and to
determine the fuel quantity required
by each customer.
Safety without compromise
Backed up by companies with 50
years of safety track-records in LNG
operation, Gas4Sea experts can
guarantee safety when supplying LNG
as fuel to all types of vessels. We will
work closely with you to create an
operational procedure that meets your
vessel specification while complying
with all regulatory requirements.
We will also coordinate with the local
authority to gain any required permits.

Europe by Gas4Sea for
ship-to-ship transfer
(5,000cm LNG capacity).
Step 1
The LNG volume is measured in the
tanks before and after the transfer,
together with the temperature of
the vapour and of the LNG.Step 2
A gas chromatograph on board
the bunkering vessel provides the
average composition for the LNG
being delivered.Step 3
The net amount of fuel delivered is
calculated at the end of the bunkering
operation, and a bunker delivery note is
provided to the captain of the vessel.
