The comparison of maneuvering with machines of the same rating, one using conventional Marine Diesel, and the other one using LNG, shows the following advantages when using the cleaner LNG:

Since LNG contains only traces of sulphur, using it onboard results in a practically sulphur oxide free emission profile. Furthermore, particle matter emissions are reduced by a factor more than 10 as the gaseous fuel is more clean than conventional, liquid fuels. Technologically advanced combustion in combination with the chemical and heating characteristics of LNG lead to NOx emissions of only 1/3rd the size of the comparable conventional ship.
