Stuart Carpenter

Senior Director, LNG Implementation Carnival Corp.

Conference Day One - 6th May 2026

1:15 PM PANEL: How will the IMO’s framework postponement affect LNG pathways?

As already highlighted in the morning sessions, the IMO decision has left the industry open to more uncertainty – but what does this mean for LNG, and what is the outcome that the LNG industry would favour? Panellists will explore the implications of the IMO Net-Zero Framework postponement specifically for LNG pathways. With global regulatory certainty delayed, the discussion will focus on how LNG investments, fleet planning, and supply strategies are affected, and what this means for bio-LNG and e-LNG development.

- How LNG investment decisions may shift and how this might change post October 2026

- Commercial and operational advantages or risks for already operational LNG-fuelled vessels

- The opportunity or risk for LBM and eFuel development

- How can the whole industry collaborate to ensure the continued development?
