Abstract:
The study describes barriers and options for overcoming these in the introduction of natural gas (LNG and CNG) on ferry and cargo routes in Denmark. LNG in particular is a mature technology with few technical obstacles and substantial environmental benefits. A shift to LNG on the major ferry routes is likely to prove economically advantageous. The business case is however highly dependent on the assumed investment levels and the future prices on LNG versus marine gas oil. In some cases, further incentives such as public tenders and longer concession periods may therefore be necessary to reduce the uncertainty related to profitability of an investment in natural gas.

Abstract in Danish:
Undersøgelsen beskriver barrierer og muligheder for at overkomme disse i forbindelse med overgang til naturgasdrift på færge- og fragtruter i Danmark. Specielt LNG er en moden teknologi med få tekniske udfordringer og markante miljøfordele. Et skift til LNG på de største færgeruter vurderes at være økonomisk fordelagtigt for rederierne. Resultatet er dog stærkt afhængigt af antagelser om den fremtidige pris på LNG i forhold til marin gasolie. I visse tilfælde kan det derfor være nødvendigt med yderligere incitamenter - eksempelvis i form af kriterier i offentlige udbud eller længere kontraktperioder - for at reducere den økonomiske usikkerhed ved investeringen.
