Fuel for Thought: The Viability of LNG (Room 222-223)

Sponsored by GTT North America

A cruise line CEO recently stated that “by 2025, 80% of cruise ships will be powered by LNG”. What do you think the likelihood is of this statement being true for newbuilds or for existing ships? How will the cruise industry make this work? The industry appears to be moving toward LNG, but what are the challenges that the industry is facing? This workshop will give the audience the power to critically think through how the industry and their shore-based partners can prepare for this emerging fuel type.
