Ferries and cruise ships are switching back from LNG to MGO. Increased prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG) have resulted in major shipping companies to stop using the fuel and switch back to marine gas oil (MGO). Ferries with single-fuel LNG engines can be replaced by dual-fuel LNG/MGO engines.
After two years of a global pandemic and government-imposed travel restrictions, plus increases in the LNG fuel costs have led to a non-sustainable financial situation for the marine industry.
The energy crisis, caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, has led to extraordinary volatility and significant price increases in LNG – and the price increases have been far higher than for traditional and less sustainable energy sources.
