Total has become the latest member to join newly established industry association SEA/LNG.
The oil major has joined forces with Shell, NYK and Carnical Corp, which are founding members of the new organisation.
Peter Keller, chairman of SEA/LNG and executive vice-president of TOTE, said: “SEA/LNG is pleased to welcome Total.
“The company has significant LNG interests integrated across its supply chain and ambitious growth plans.”
Total has set a target to double its LNG production from 10.2 million tons to around 20 million tons per year by 2020.
Olivier Jouny, marine fuels managing director of Total, said: “Total has a long historical activity in the bunker industry and is also a strong worldwide LNG player.
“Total’s ambition is to become the responsible energy major and the group strongly supports the SEA\LNG drive to make LNG the preferred clean marine fuel of the future.”
SEA/LNG took shape in the summer and aims to accelerate the transition from traditional marine fuels to LNG.
