One of the areas in which NEXUS is specialised includes the marine economy. We advise practically all groups of entities whose participation will be necessary at different stages of the emerging LNG bunkering market – i.e. shipyards and companies representing the steel construction sector, LNG solution providers, gas trading and distribution companies, sea ports and ship-owners.
We have extensive experience and competences regarding the LNG market - including the use of LNG as fuel in marine transport – acquired, e.g. during work for marine port boards and companies from the gas sector. We prepare highly specialised projects in the area of small-scale LNG utilisation. Innovative LNG bunkering ships. Electricity generation in ports. LNG Logistics
