SGMF and GASNAM sign MoU

The Spanish Association of Natural Gas for Mobility (GASNAM) and the Society for Gas as a Marine Fuel (SGMF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to improve operations and objectives.

SGMF is a non-governmental organisation established to promote safety and industry best practice in the use of gas as a marine fuel.

GASNAM was originally founded in Spain in 2013, but has since expanded to Portugal, representing Iberian interests related to LNG terminals. Terminals located on the Iberian Peninsula account for 50% of Europe’s total capacities.

The two groups will exchange experiences and will collaborate on the development of a standard, still non-existent in Europe, for regulating the activities of supply of LNG for ships, such as truck-to-ship, port-to-ship or ship-to-ship.
