As the maritime industry increases its reliance on LNG and Liquefied Bio-Methane (LBM), the demand for scalable infrastructure is increasing. Stakeholders must overcome significant technical, logistical and financial challenges to ensure infrastructure growth keeps pace with the demand. This panel will discuss strategies for expanding this infrastructure network and understand how different key stakeholders must work together to make this achievable for the future of LNG. Our panellists will answer the following questions:

• How can ports invest in and adapt infrastructure to meet the growing demand for LNG and LBM?

• What are the key challenges in ensuring infrastructure compatibility with emerging technologies and fuel options?

• How can collaboration across the supply chain enhance the speed and efficiency of infrastructure expansion?

• Are we on track to meet the growing demand for LNG and LBM, or could capacity limitations slow industry progress?

The reality of the future of LNG is that after 2035, LBM is going to be the priority and compliant fuel to utilise in LNG-fitted ships. Each year we hear the shipowner perspective on their projections within the scalability and use of LBM within the market in the next few years. The demand for LNG ships is growing, and in 2025 this conversation is one of the most important to evaluate the viability of the future. Join this session to hear from some of the biggest shipowners to hear their take on:

• Do you agree with the often-used sentiment that LNG is transition fuel – and how does LBM fit into this picture?

• How are they currently using LBM within their fleets?

• What are the foreseeable challenges for 2035 and beyond in regard to this pathway?

• What are the most promising developments in the space?

• How are you collaborating with other organisations to expand this network?

Siem Shipping is at the forefront of decarbonising the maritime industry, exploring methanol, ammonia, and other innovative solutions to build a truly multi-fuel fleet. Their strategy embraces forward-looking innovation, recognising that regulations are essential drivers of change. This case study will provide an in-depth look at Siem Shipping’s decarbonisation journey, offering valuable insights into their decision-making, technological adoption, and operational strategies. Phillip will aim to answer the following questions:

• How does Siem Shipping approach the exploration of methanol and ammonia into their fleet, and what lessons have they learned so far?

• How are Siem Shipping ensuring they will be compliant with regulation, and what have the effects of EU ETS been in 2025?

• What have been some of the biggest hurdles when looking at global supply, infrastructure and adoption?
