I look forward to working with SEA-LNG and its membership to advance the understanding of the LNG pathway in our industry.”
Chairman Peter Keller said: “With this experienced team in place, SEA-LNG will continue its mission of facilitating the use of LNG as an important maritime fuel. The Board and membership of SEA-LNG continue to be excited about the well documented and proven decarbonisation and air quality benefits that LNG, and the pathway forward with bio and ultimately renewable synthetic LNG, provides to the global maritime community.”
