The June issue of LNG Industry is available now! This month begins with a keynote report from the Center for Strategic & International Studies on LNG in the energy dominance agenda, before moving on to topics such as coatings, managing methane emissions and decarbonisation, and safety. With contributions from key industry leaders – such as Stopaq, SEA-LNG, Pole Star Global and more – don’t miss out on the chance to gain invaluable insights.

This month's front cover is brought to you by Gas and Heat S.p.A..

Can LNG headline the energy dominance era?
Joseph Majkut and Kunro Irie, Center for Strategic & International Studies, makes the case for LNG in the energy dominance agenda and why it will have to navigate real geopolitical and market challenges to reach its full potential.

Metallic coated steels: A revolution
Walter Pérez Villa, ArcelorMittal, Luxembourg, indicates the role of high-performing coatings in extending product lifetimes in harsh environments.

Changing the LNG coating and sealing landscape with PIB
Mario Silvestro, Product Manager, Stopaq, sits down with Jessica Casey, Editor of LNG Industry, to highlight how polyisobutene-based coatings and sealants are helping ensure the longevity of critical energy infrastructure.

Hull coatings: The unsung support for reducing emissions
Kazuaki Masuda, Corporate Officer, Technical Division, Nippon Paint Marine, explores how antifouling coatings can provide crucial support for emissions compliance and fuel consumption in the LNG industry.

The final piece of the decarbonisation puzzle
Steve Esau, SEA-LNG, UK, addresses how eliminating methane slip could be the key to shipping’s decarbonisation dilemma.

Managing emissions in LNG
The role of drone-based multi-sensor technologies is paramount to ensuring a future of safe and efficient emissions monitoring across the LNG industry, reveal Maria Kuosa, CEO, and Vesa-Pekka Murtovaara, COO, Aeromon.

Green shipping and the blue economy
Captain Steve Bomgardner, VP of Shipping & Offshore, Pole Star Global, examines the role of alternative fuels and fleet upgrades in shaping an effective blue economy.

Fixing mooring line failures
Mooring line failures at LNG terminals are rare but, when they do occur, the effects of snap-back can be devastating for crew and dockside workers alike. Until now, vessel operators have been unable to accurately assess the likelihood of mooring line failure – a new ‘real time’ rope tension monitoring system is set to change all that, says Mohamed Dawoud, Global Mooring Manager, Lankhorst Ropes.
