A Greener Alternative Marine Fuel

Alan N. Campion CEng CMarEng FIMarEST FHEA
Location: Room 004, IMC, Warwick University, Coventry, CV4 7HP
Alan will be reviewing the background and history of the recent developments that have< resulted in the transition of LNG from being a specialist cargo, invariably handled by specialist seafarers, to becoming, for an increasing number of Owners and Operators, the greener fuel of choice as part of the Maritime Industry’s decarbonising process.
Starting as an Apprentice Engineer on board Cunard passenger ships, Alan followed a career at sea for 35 years becoming Chief Engineer mainly on tankers carrying liquefied gases (LNG, LPG, NH3 and chemical gases) belonging to British and Norwegian owners. This was followed by 10 years as a Senior Lecturer at Solent University’s Warsash facility mainly teaching gas and oil tanker safety, but also engineering subjects from HND to MSc level as well as Postgraduate Learning and Teaching.
Since retiring from full time teaching Alan has operated his own consultancy, mainly offering support and training to companies new to LNG. He is currently working with the Society for Gas as a Marine Fuel (SGMF) assisting with the development of competency and training guidelines for Officers and Crew working on board the new generation of ships that are powered by alternative fuels as covered by the IMO IGF code. Alan is also an active Institute Member sitting on a number of Institute and IMO committees. For relaxation he enjoys sailing cruising yachts, and is an RYA qualified Skipper.
