Investing in equipment: choose long lifespan

Whether you’re buying a car, a computer or a yacht, you want to make sure that it is made of high-quality materials, that it will serve its purpose whenever you may need it and that it will last for a long time, so that you don’t have to worry about replacing it with a new one next year. High-quality manufacturing is valued both in domestic applications and in business circumstances. Investing money in equipment comes with a natural calculation of value in time and cost-efficiency analysis. In the modern times, sustainability is also of great concern and we try to reduce wasteful purchases both at home and at work.

LNG: growth expected in 2021 & new possibilities with FROG-XT2

With half the CO2 emissions of coal, natural gas is deemed to be much more environmentally friendly and in the recent years has gained a lot more attention and investment as a potential transition energy source. The beginning of 2020 saw Shell’s LNG Outlook report: “Global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) grew by 12.5% to 359 million tonnes in 2019 - a significant increase that bolsters LNG’s growing role in the transition to a lower-carbon energy system.”1 However, the global pandemic and economic downturn later saw the whole of oil & gas industry struggling with a major drop in demand, including the LNG market. The impact of 2020 crisis is expected to have repercussions on the medium-term growth potential, resulting in about 75 bcm of lost growth over the forecast period, 2019 to 2025, according to the IEA2.

Growing energy demand across Asia

Country focus

The demand for energy across Asia has been on the rise in the recent years and is expected to grow more significantly in the next couple of decades, in line with the economical development of the countries in this part of the world: with growing populations, increasing standards of living and urbanisation. LNG is seen as the main transition fuel in this period and the demand for it is expected to grow hugely according to analysts. IHS Markit expects that by 2040 the South and Southeast Asia region will be importing a third of global LNG demand1. Myanmar is the latest country in the region to start importing LNG. They accepted the first LNG cargo from Malaysia in June this year at their LNG-to-power facility which was completed in just 9 months despite the pandemic2.

High-volume transfers: safe and efficient in all offshore industries.

Technology focus

High-volume crew transfer causes a challenge to many operators in the offshore industries. Getting workers to the platform in a safe and efficient manner may not always be easy. It is an activity heavily dependant on weather and sea states, and any delays can create logistical nightmares and increase costs significantly. Reflex Marine’s access solutions help you reduce those risks and improve the reliability of your offshore crew transfer options.
