Nowadays, it is widely known that with the constant and rapid population growth, there is an increasing demand for energy in all sectors. Regarding shipping, a suite of environmental issues relating to pollutant emissions from the use of conventional oil fuels and the resultant costs have to be resolved. Within this framework, LNG is constantly gaining ground in the Shipping Industry. The following study outlines the reasons why Shipping is turning to the use of LNG. The enforcement regulations of various International Organizations that require actions to be taken for the purpose of contributing to the environment is further analyzed. More specifically, the purpose of this thesis, aims at reporting and analyzing the use of natural gas and LNG in daily life and in the Shipping Sector. The world’s LNG trade and use is compared to other fuels by analyzing the advantages and drawbacks with particular reference to the existing regulations.
