SIGTTO announced release of the first edition of “Reduction of Methane Emissions from LNG Carriers”,

This publication provides practical guidance on reducing methane emissions through:
– improved cargo containment,
– advances in vessel and equipment design,
– measures to minimise methane slip from propulsion and machinery systems.

It also emphasises the value of structured inspection, maintenance and emission quantification, forming the basis for more comprehensive leak detection and repair practices over time.

Operational measures such as voyage planning, cargo management and routine inspection discipline are highlighted as essential contributors to emission reduction. The publication underlines the importance of coordinated efforts between owners, charterers and wider stakeholders to ensure consistent and effective implementation.
