Key Themes

LNG Bunkering & The Decarbonisation Transition

With mounting regulatory pressures, LNG is the key transitional fuel helping the maritime sector meet decarbonisation goals. This theme explores how LNG bunkering supports emissions reduction while aligning with global sustainability targets.

The Future Fuel Mix: Bio-LNG, Synthetic LNG & Beyond

The summit looks ahead at emerging fuels like Bio-LNG and Synthetic LNG. Discussions will focus on their viability, infrastructure readiness, and how these next-gen fuels will reshape the LNG bunkering landscape. 

Infrastructure Expansion & Supply Chain Challenges

As LNG-fueled vessels surge, infrastructure must scale to meet demand. This theme addresses bottlenecks in port capacity, bunkering facilities, and logistics, offering solutions to strengthen supply chains across the region. 

Retrofitting, Newbuilds & Technology Innovations

Delegates will weigh the business case for retrofitting versus newbuilds, while exploring the latest technologies driving efficiency, safety, and digitalisation in LNG bunkering operations. 

Financing LNG Bunkering Growth

Securing capital for bunkering projects is critical. This theme covers financing strategies, risk mitigation, and partnerships to unlock investments in LNG infrastructure and future fuel solutions.
