LNG is not a transition technology, but becomes a dead end for climate protection in shipping. The study commissioned by NABU and conducted by the CE Delft research institute examines the technical possibilities for LNG-powered ships to use onshore power. Different ship types and tank configurations were analyzed. The results show that LNG technology and future requirements for emission-free port operations are not yet sufficiently aligned. Membrane and Type B tanks with large tank volumes and high boil-off gas quantities pose particular technical and operational challenges.
