16JUL2019 - NEWS - BHP tenders for LNG fueled ore carriers

In a massive vote of confidence in LNG as a marine fuel, mining giant BHP has released the world’s first bulk carrier tender for LNG-fueled transport for up to 27 million tonnes of its iron ore. It notes that introducing LNG-fueled ships into its maritime supply chain will eliminate NOx (nitrogen oxide) and SOx (sulfur oxide) emissions and significantly reduce CO2 emissions along the busiest bulk transport route globally.
