With the global regulatory setting continuing to cause uncertainty in the LNG market, we look to the industry to define the future of fuel pathway decisions within the maritime industry. Amongst this uncertainty, one thing is clear – the industry must come together to understand how we will create some level of certainty with a lack of regulatory support.

We are excited to share the first concept agenda for the LNG Bunkering Summit North America (Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista, 16th – 18th November), which will bring together all of the LNG Bunkering industry stakeholders to do exactly this.

Now is a key moment in time for the industry in North America, given LNG and RNG production is increasing in capacity – but with bottlenecks in infrastructure development for maritime – where does this leave the growing demand for LNG bunkering? This is just one of the questions which will be addressed this year, at the LNG Bunkering Summit.

Be part of the conversation shaping LNG’s future in maritime—we look forward to welcoming you.

"It's a great conference to go to if you want to gain some insights into the local and regional challenges regarding LNG bunkering, and it's also a great place to meet players from across the supply chain." - Green Fuel Originator – Maersk Energy Markets, A.P. Moller Maersk

We're excited to invite you to a unique, behind-the-scenes LNG experience at Port Canaveral, available as part of the LNG Bunkering Summit North America!

This exclusive tour gives you the chance to see one of the most advanced LNG cruise ports in the world up close. As the first North American homeport for LNG-powered cruise ships, Port Canaveral continues to lead the way, with eight LNG-fuelled vessels set to be based there by 2027.

As demand for LNG-fueled vessels continues to rise across North America, the successful development of bunkering infrastructure has become a critical enabler of the maritime energy transition. Bringing projects from concept to commercial readiness requires more than technical expertise. It demands stakeholder alignment, regulatory certainty, strategic partnerships, and the confidence to invest ahead of demand.

In this exclusive interview case study, Jonathan Cook, CEO of Navergy Infrastructure Partners, shares the development journey of the Galveston LNG Bunker Port (GLBP), one of the Gulf Coast's most advanced LNG bunkering projects. From securing permits and achieving shovel-ready status to preparing for future bio-LNG supply, Jonathan explores the lessons learned, challenges overcome, and strategies that have positioned GLBP for commercial success.

Why should you attend the LNG North America Summit?

The event brings together the full LNG and bio-LNG ecosystem, including shipowners, fuel suppliers, LNG producers, LNG infrastructure developers, ports, regulators, technology providers, and industry associations. To help get approval from your boss, we have created a Letter for Approval piece for you to send them.

The IMO's failure to adopt the Net-Zero Framework has created fresh uncertainty for shipowners, fuel suppliers, ports, investors, and policymakers. Yet while regulatory debates continue, the maritime industry continues to invest in alternative fuels, infrastructure, and decarbonization initiatives.

This exclusive interview, After the IMO Setback: How to Rediscover Purpose and Act, featuring insights from Mark Watts, CEO of UK Transport in Europe, provides a timely snapshot of how European maritime leaders are responding to the post-IMO landscape, why LNG remains central to the energy transition, and what industry stakeholders can do to maintain momentum while global policy frameworks evolve.

For North America's LNG community, this interview offers a valuable opportunity to compare perspectives, benchmark strategies, and understand how international markets are preparing for the next phase of maritime decarbonization.

Download the Interview to Learn:

• How Europe is responding to the IMO setback: Why many industry leaders believe the challenge is one of trust, fairness, and leadership rather than technology or ambition.
• Why LNG remains a leading transition fuel and how investment in vessels, bunkering infrastructure, and supply chains continues despite regulatory uncertainty.
• How industry stakeholders are driving progress as shipowners, ports, fuel suppliers, cargo owners, and financiers act while policy catches up.
• What's coming next for global shipping: The commercial, operational, and investment implications of delayed regulation and the opportunities emerging for first movers.
• What North American LNG stakeholders can learn from Europe's response to evolving regulatory and market conditions.

As the IMO's Net-Zero Framework takes shape, growing attention is being paid to an alternative proposal from Liberia, Panama, and Argentina that could influence its final design. For LNG stakeholders, the debate extends far beyond regulation, with implications for fuel competitiveness, compliance costs, renewable methane pathways, and investment across the global marine fuel value chain.

In this exclusive report, Ryan Harb, Board Member at the American Biogas Council, examines the key differences between the two proposals, why a compromise framework may be the most likely outcome, and what it could mean for LNG, bio-LNG, renewable natural gas (RNG), and e-methane pathways.

Download the Full Report to Learn:

• How the competing frameworks differ: Understand the key distinctions between the IMO's Net-Zero Framework and the Liberia proposal, including their approaches to emissions reduction, affordability, fuel availability, and infrastructure readiness.
• What the debate means for LNG: Explore Ryan Harb's insights on how future greenhouse gas intensity targets, carbon pricing mechanisms, lifecycle emissions accounting, and methane regulations could influence LNG's role in the global marine fuel mix.
• The outlook for bio-LNG and renewable methane: Discover how RNG, bio-LNG, and e-methane could leverage existing LNG infrastructure, and why certification, lifecycle accounting, and carbon-intensity methodologies will be critical to future adoption.
• What happens next: Gain expert analysis on the most likely regulatory outcomes, the prospect of a compromise framework, and the developments LNG stakeholders should be watching most closely.

Download the report today to understand how evolving IMO regulations could shape LNG's long-term role in shipping and what a potential compromise framework may mean for the future of marine fuel markets.

Methane slip has become one of the biggest challenges facing LNG-fueled shipping, with growing pressure from regulators, charterers, financiers, and emissions frameworks placing vessel greenhouse gas performance under greater scrutiny. As LNG adoption accelerates, understanding and mitigating methane emissions is becoming essential for maintaining compliance, competitiveness, and long-term fleet value.

This report, Methane Slip in LNG Shipping 2026: Regulatory Risks, Commercial Implications, and Emerging Solutions, examines the latest regulatory developments, IMO emissions measurement initiatives, and breakthrough technologies helping shipowners reduce methane slip and strengthen LNG's environmental performance.

Download the Full Report to Learn:

• Why methane slip matters: The environmental, regulatory, and commercial implications of methane emissions as LNG-fueled fleets continue to expand.
• How regulation is changing: The latest IMO developments, the shift toward measured emissions, and what evolving greenhouse gas frameworks mean for operators and LNG stakeholders.

The RFS program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable fuels in the United States. Renewable fuels are produced from renewable biomass and reduce the amount of fossil fuels in transportation fuel, heating oil, and jet fuel. A Renewable Identification Number (RIN) is assigned to each gallon of renewable fuel, and obligated parties must meet Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO) to achieve renewable fuel targets. However, renewable fuels used in ocean-going vessels currently do not generate RINs.

This white paper discusses the eligibility of RINs and the potential for a marine RIN market if the definition of transportation fuel is changed to include ocean-going vessels.
