LNG dual-fuel conversion retrofit

vendor claim — not yet independently measured

Converting the main engine and fuel system to burn LNG, with a tank-to-wake CO2 reduction from the fuel's lower carbon content. A major conversion with months of yard time; methane slip and LNG price exposure are the counterweights.

Measured real-world outcomes

The reduction range above is a vendor claim. We continuously detect completed retrofits in shipyard-visit, equipment and EU MRV emissions data and measure the actual AER change. Measured results are published per measure once at least 30 controlled observations exist — until then, treat vendor ranges as ceilings: real-world delivery is consistently at or below the low end.
