LNG emits significantly smaller quantities of particulate matter than other fuels, as well as producing less carbon dioxide. The Port of Amsterdam regards LNG as a vital transitional fuel which currently serves as the best alternative for the shipping industry. In order to encourage vessel operators to start using this fuel, the Port will be providing an additional discount starting 1 August. The Port also aims to have a bunker pontoon for LNG in place in the Port of Amsterdam by the end of 2018.
The introduction of this discount will help to advance the Port’s mission to encourage the 50 000 seagoing vessels, cruise ships, and barges that call on the Port annually to operate as rapidly and efficiently as possible, using the least amount of resources.
