Developments in LNG Bunkering Infrastructure Enhancing Operations
Companies within the LNG bunkering sector are prioritizing the advancement of bunkering infrastructure, especially shore-to-ship LNG bunkering services. These terminal-based systems deliver liquefied natural gas directly from onshore storage to vessels through fixed pipelines and loading arms. This approach improves refueling efficiency, enhances safety, offers greater supply flexibility, and reduces turnaround times at ports. For example, in April 2025, Osaka Gas, a Japan-based integrated gas utility, unveiled a shore-to-ship LNG bunkering service at its Senboku LNG Terminal. This service supports the growing use of LNG-powered ships and contributes to maritime decarbonization by enabling direct terminal-to-vessel fuel transfer, accommodating large-scale LNG vessels, and integrating seamlessly with existing LNG supply systems. Such infrastructure upgrades boost fueling reliability, operational efficiency, and scalability for next-generation marine transport.
