Main Conference Day One - Tuesday November 19

8:20 AM CHAIR'S OPENING REMARKS

1:30 PM PANEL: ADVANCEMENTS IN WEST COAST LNG BUNKERING

One critical challenge operators are facing is understanding the available supply of LNG - and whether it will meet the increasing demand. With this comes the question also of regional availability. With more limited options for LNG bunkering on the West Coast in comparison to elsewhere in the US, this panel aims to answer some of the following questions regarding West Coast developments:

- What is the current landscape of LNG bunkering on the West Coast, and what opportunities are emerging?

- Are there significant projects or infrastructure improvements planned in the next year that will enhance LNG availability?

- What insights and best practices can be drawn from LNG bunkering experiences on the East Coast and Gulf Coast?

- Are there regulatory hurdles impeding the growth of LNG bunkering on the West Coast, and how can they be addressed?

- What strategies can the industry adopt collectively to accelerate the development and adoption of LNG bunkering infrastructure?

- How can we anticipate future trends and developments in LNG bunkering to make informed investment decisions?
