Supporting the Transition to Cleaner Energy Sources

We pride ourselves in providing deep operational experience across our onshore and seagoing workforces across a range of alternative fuels:

Liquefied Natural Gas

We are an industry leader in the operation of LNG-fueled vessels equipped with advanced dual-fuel engines, including steam, DFDE, X-DF and ME-GA systems. With a majority-Gas Fleet under our management and over a decade of high-quality technical management for major LNG shipping companies, our teams are experienced in boil-off gas management, fuel conditioning, and safe bunkering operations, including recent newbuild supervision of LNG dual-fuel assets. LNG can reduce emissions compared with conventional fuels, but its overall climate impact depends on well-to-wake performance and effective methane management.

LPG Carrier

LPG (Ethane, Propane, Butane)

Our competence in LPG operations span ethane, propane, and butane cargoes, with crews trained in the unique handling, reliquefication, and safety protocols of pressurised and semi-refrigerated systems. We’ve supported clients through complex LPG retrofits and operate vessels with advanced cargo containment and fuel injection systems.

Methanol

As early operators of methanol propulsion, we’ve worked closely with classification societies like DNV to shape operational industry standards. Our crews are trained in methanol-specific safety, fuel changeover procedures, and emissions monitoring, with three years’ experience managing methanol-fueled tankers in active service. Methanol is a practical marine fuel, and its long-term decarbonisation value is strongest when supplied as renewable or low-carbon methanol under well-to-wake accounting.

Other Fuels

We support biofuel trials and hybrid propulsion systems, including battery-assisted newbuild Ro-Pax ferry delivery voyages. We have operated ammonia-ready VLGCs. Our engineering teams are engaged in feasibility studies for ammonia and hydrogen carriers, and we advise clients on integrating these fuels into future-ready vessel designs.
