USCG issues guidance on alternative fuel bunkering
USCG informs that, in the absence of specific prescriptive regulations for LNG and alternative marine fuel bunkering, a comprehensive bunkering proposal and risk assessment should be submitted prior to any such operation.
Bunkering proposal
As explained, due to the absence of specific prescriptive regulations for bunkering LNG and other alternative marine fuels, the Captains of the Port (COTPs) should use their authority to require that an initial bunkering proposal be submitted. The bunkering proposal should be initiated by the fuel supplier with sufficient time for the COTP to review for any areas of concern prior to the bunkering operation.
