LNG as a marine fuel under pressure from mandatory shore power

LNG as a marine fuel: TEU capacity versus LNG tank size for containerships with Type B and membrane tanks

The study finds that LNG as a marine fuel sits uneasily with mandatory Onshore Power Supply (OPS) at berth. When ships plug in, they can no longer burn boil-off gas in auxiliary engines, increasing the risk of wasted energy or methane venting.
