Abstract

As the international Maritime Organization is tightening up the emission regulation vessel, many countries and companies are pushing ahead the LNG fuel as one of long term solution for emission problems of ship. as a study on the way to conduct business for LNG bunkering around the world, this study was analyzed in view-point of business models focused on major countries such as Japan, China, Singapore, Europe and United States. The results of this study are as follows. China first established a nation-centered LNG bunkering policy. And then, the state and the energy company have been cooperating and carrying on LNG bunkering business for LNG fueled ships. Some countries in Europe and United States are in the process of LNG bunkering business mainly with private company. To obtain cheaper LNG fuel than bunker-C, the private company has a business model of LNG bunkering on their own LNG fueled ships, while securing LNG with high price competitiveness through partnership with middle class operators such us LNG terminal and natural gas liquefaction plant. Also, the LNG bunkering business around the world is focused on private companies rather than public corporations, but it was going to be focused on large energy companies because the initial cost required to build LNG bunkering infrastructure. Three models (TOTE model, Shell model, ENGIE model) of LNG bun kering business are currently being developed. It has been found that the way in which LNG bunkering business is implemented by different countries is applied differently according to the enterprise and national policy.

국제해사기구의 선박배출가스 규제 등의 환경규제 강화로 세계 주요 국가에서는 선박배출가스에 대한 3가지 솔루션 중에서 LNG연료를 장기적 솔루션으로 추진하는 국가와 기업이 늘어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세계적으로 LNG벙커링에 대한 비즈니스를 어떠한 형태로 이끌어 가는지에 대한 고찰로서, 주요 국가인 일본, 중국, 싱가포르의 아시아 지역과 유럽 그리고 미국을 중심으로 비즈니스 모델 관점에서 분석을 하였다. 연구결과 중국은 국가 위주의 LNG벙커링 정책 수립 후에 국가와 에너지 회사가 제휴하여 LNG연료추진선박용 LNG벙커링 비즈니스를 진행하여 있음을 발견하였다. 유럽 일부와 미국은 순수한 민간회사 위주의 LNG벙커링 비즈니스가 진행되고 있으며, 민간회사는 현재 선박유보다 저렴한 LNG연료 확보를 위하여 LNG터미널, 천연가스 액화플랜트 등의 중상류 사업자와의 제휴를 통해 가격 경쟁력이 높은 LNG를 확보하면서 자사 LNG연료추진선박에 LNG벙커링을 하는 비즈니스 모델을 가지고 있다. 전 세계 LNG벙커링 비즈니스는 공기업보다는 민간기업 위주로 진행되고 있으며, LNG벙커링 인프라 구축에는 초기비용이 필요하여 대부분 에너지 대기업 위주로 비즈니스가 진행되고 있었다. LNG벙커링 비즈니스는 현재 3가지 모델(TOTE 모델, Shell 모델, ENGIE 모델)이 개발 되고 있다. 국가별로 LNG벙커링 비즈니스 추진 방식은 기업 및 국가 정책에 따라 다르게 적용된다는 것을 발견하였다.
