LNG as ship fuel is an emerging market. LNG infrastructure is a prerequisite for the adoption of LNG technology. One important element of LNG infrastructure is LNG bunker ships. By global comparison, Northern Europe is a region with dense traffic of LNG vessels. The bunker ship fleet in this region consists of several units in operation, with numerous others on order. The operational profile, assessed based on AIS data for the months June to September 2019, confirms that LNG as ship fuel is still a niche market. Ship-to-ship LNG deliveries are concentrated in several hotspots. The fleet of LNG vessels supplied by the Northern European fleet of LNG bunker ships is rather diverse in terms of ship types. The LNG bunker ships with a larger carrying capacity also engage in feedering LNG to smaller-scale LNG terminals. With a future denser net of LNG infrastructure and a larger LNG bunker ship fleet, LNG bunker ships are expected to specialize increasingly with regard to the services they supply.
