The gas bubble bursts
17 Oct 2014 Motorship
It came as something of a shock, especially in the run-up to the Motorship Gas Fuelled Ships conference (which takes place in Stavanger, Norway, on 25-27 November) that one major LNG fuelled ship project had been put on hold.
Brittany Ferries, which had ordered a new large gas-fuelled ro-pax ship and announced plans to convert the newer vessels in its fleet to run on LNG, announced that it would be going for the HFO and exhaust gas scrubber instead.
