LNG bunkering is a series of process to inject LNG to LNG ships. Newly formed LNG market draws interests as the global environmental regulations are enhanced(IMO TierⅢ, ECA, EEDI, etc.), LNG-fueled engine technologies for ships are developed and more competitive price for LNG fuel is introduced. KOGAS-Tech is leading LNG bunkering technology developed for land/marine environment to enhance LNG bunkering EPC and O&M business for the future.
