Poseidon Med II offers a practical roadmap towards the adoption of LNG as a safe, environmental friendly and viable alternative fuel for shipping, contributing to the development of a lower emission profile for the East Mediterranean marine transportation. It is a cross border project, involving 26 partners from three member states- Greece, Italy and Cyprus – with a view to make Greece a distribution hub for LNG in South Eastern Europe. The action is co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme.

Current state of play, EU drivers and business related aspects about the use of LNG as marine fuel will be in the spotlight of the Poseidon Med II awareness seminar on June 7th, during Posidonia 2016. Poseidon Med II partners will discuss LNG supply, technical and financial aspects of the LNG bunkering, raising awareness to the latest innovations and trends in the market. The aim of the event is to bring together representatives from the shipping industry, who wish to ‘‘sail’’ on the new rising LNG era.
