SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2016  
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is the fuel of the future for ships, Transport Minister Marios Demetriades said on Friday.

In his address at the conference LNG Fuelling the Future of the Eastern Mediterranean, that took place in the coastal town of Limassol, Demetriades said that until recently, reference to LNG for shipping was only viewed as cargo on ships intended for use on land.

“Now we can confidently speak about LNG as the fuel of the future for ships as well”.
