 The Message
In the LPG & ChemGas trades, minor changes to
integrate ship/shore procedures can improve
operations and reduce environmental impact
significantly
Total emissions need to be considered
including both CO2 generated by avoidable fuel
consumption and by Hydrocarbon release
Vapour return technology and procedures have
been proved in other gas shipping trades.
