Julie Ferland’s Post

I am so proud to have been invited by Crowley to be the ship sponsor for Progress, the largest US built, Jones Act compliant LNG bunker barge. Progress is already living up to her name by enabling efficient and dependable LNG supply to fuel ships. LNG is the lowest carbon fuel currently available to shipping at scale, emitting up to 23% less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (well-to-wake) compared to very/ultra low sulphur fuel oil. LNG, bio-LNG, and synthetic LNG, which are primarily liquefied methane, can all be supplied through the existing and expanding LNG infrastructure and gas grid. Overall, we have the largest LNG bunkering network in the world 26 bunkering locations 12 countries 12 bunkering vessels 2000+ bunkering operations completed to date This is backed by Shell’s global LNG business, which has a sizeable portfolio, extensive shipping and storage assets, and access to regasification plants. Expanding access to cleaner energy is critical if we’re going to meet the needs of customers and society more broadly and I am proud to be a part of enabling this transition.
