The International Association of Ports and Harbors’ (IAPH) World Ports Climate Initiative (WPCI) has developed a world map that depicts the status of bunkering activities in WPCI ports as well as non WPCI ports around the globe.
It was the “LNG Fuelled Vessels Working Group” which was established under the auspices of IAPH’s WPCI, that developed the map. This working group has also developed guidelines on safe procedures for LNG bunkering operations, providing ports around the world with implementation guidelines to pursue this technology.
According to the map, LNG is currently available as a bunker fuel for maritime and inland shipping at the WPCI ports of Antwerp, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge and Stockholm. In addition, LNG can be bunkered at several Norwegian ports, at the Port of Los Angeles (United States) and the Port of Incheon (South korea).
The map also shows that LNG bunkering is planned at the following ports:
- Busan (South korea)
- Zhoushan (China)
- Nanjing (China)
- Singapore
- Fujairah
- Fourchon (United States)
- Buenos Aires (Argentina)
- Talinn (Estonia)
- Hirtshals (Denmark)
- Aarhus (Denmark)
- Copenhagen (Denmark)
- Brunsbuttel (Germany)
- Luveck (Germany)
- Hamburg (Germany)
- Bremerhaven (Germany)
- Wilhelmshaven (Germany)
- Amsterdam (Netherlands)
