LNG is the clear front-runner in North American maritime industry, but with some companies making bold decisions to steer away from LNG and invest in other marine fuels, it must be a consideration for other ship owners. The conversation has been taking form over the past few years, with methanol, ammonia and hydrogen (and the potential of nuclear) as candidates for viable green marine fuels. These fuels, however, have many challenges that need to be addressed before they can truly be considered as a viable at scale. Hear discussions on:

-        How is safety prioritized when looking at the alternative fuel options?

-        While they might be scarce now, can we comment on perceived availability in the future?

-        How can we collaborate to understand the potential cost of making an investment in an alternative vs the cost of not meeting emissions targets?

-        Opinions on why the European Market is focused on a multi-fuel basket including these alternatives
