SEA-LNG MEPC statement

Responding to the decision by the IMO to delay adoption of the Net Zero Framework, SEA-LNG stated that it will use this time to work with our members and other industry organizations to continue to develop meaningful, scientific studies to support the IMO’s critical work.

The industry will continue on the road to decarbonisation.  The methane pathway is currently the only practical, realistic and scalable solution to the decarbonisation of the global maritime industry, as demonstrated by the rapid growth in the LNG dual-fuel fleet and new build orderbook.  With industry initiatives dramatically reducing levels of methane emissions onboard and in fuel supply chains, the growing availability of biomethane and gradual introduction of e-methane in the coming years, the pathway will continue to deliver meaningful reductions of greenhouse gases and local emissions to the citizens of the world.
