1. SIGTTO Update to CH4 Emissions Industry Meeting
Geneva
21st March 2018
A very Good Morning to you all.
My name is Andrew Clifton and I am the general manager of the Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators LTD.
I would like to talk to you today about what SIGTTO is, a short history of the LNG shipping industry, the LNG shipping safety record & how this was achieved, breifly touch on advances in technology & design and then I would like to discuss LNG as a fuel.

2. IMO Entered into Force 1 January 2016
IGC Code
Entered into Force 1 January 2016
Application/Implementation date 1 July 2016
SIGTTO commenced process of revision in 2007
Section Venting no longer acceptable except
for emergency situations
MEPC
MEPC 70 in October 2016 agreed Global 0.5%
sulphur cap to come into force from 2020 2

3. SIGTTO’s role to date Industry body for gas shipping and terminals
Part of the annual UNECE Group of experts on Gas meeting
SIGTTO has attended all five meetings
Consulted regarding recording emissions
ESSF Shipping MRV Monitoring subgroup
Technical committee (GPC) looking at how to further record and reduce emissions
Attended Methane Measurement Conference in Antwerp Nov 2017

4. Reduction of Methane Emissions
Best practice guidance to the LNG shipping industry
Loss of containment avoidance in all aspects of operations
Reduction of methane slip in propulsion
Vessel speed reduction benefits
Gas freeing for dry dockings
Promoting LNG as a marine fuel – SGMF
Education and awareness of public
Encouraging safe use of liquefied gases
Retention of impressive safety record

5. Recording LNG vessel Methane Emissions
Very challenging – no answers!
Many different vessel types, sizes and ages
Fleet of 500+ ships, 140 on order (all SIGTTO members)
Range of efficiencies
Complicated by use of BOG as fuel
Gas combustion units/steam dumping/onboard reliq
Forced BOG
Methane slip
STS transfer
FLNG + FSRU
Oil majors are sharing inforamtion
