Description
The JIP LNG4Solution is introducing four the worlds most environmentally friendly and energy efficient tankers running on LNG and reducing air emissions in the whole supply chain of clean petroleum products (CPP) in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. The JIP develops a comprehensive solution to minimize harmful air emissions (NOX, CO2 and PM) in shipping and it significantly increases the energy efficiency of maritime transport within the Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA). As a forerunner, LNG4Solution sets a benchmark for achievable environmental performance and plays an important role as a viable example for followers and other stakeholders. LNG4Solution works to find a way to environmentally optimize the supply chain of energy products and supports the development of a strong, safe and competitive shipping sector in the region. This is done together with charterers, ports and technology manufacturers. The objective is to connect over 30 ports and to enhance the ports in order to accommodate LNG fueled vessels. The project promotes safe and clean shipping, as well as alternative fuels; it increases the demand and deployment of LNG as marine fuel in the SECA.
The shipowner, Terntank, has been awarded with the Shipowner Efficiency Award for pioneering use of LNG fuel in the tanker industry at the Marine Propulsion Awards in London, 15 April 2015. Terntanks new building Ternsund has been nominated to the top 10 ships of 2016 and is introduced in the shipping magazine Maritime Reporter & Engineering News. The shipowner has also been awarded in the International Green Shipping IGS awards 2016 which was held in Rotterdam 17th October for The most exceptional contribution to green shipping and received a nomination from jury For being the first shipowner to order vessels within the project platform Zero vision tool ZVT. At the moment, Terntank Rederi is nominated under the category Ship of the year 2017 at the Nor-Shipping conference, which will be held in Oslo 30 May 2 June 2017.

SDGS & Targets
Goal 14
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
14.1
By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
14.1.1
(a) Index of coastal eutrophication; and (b) plastic debris density
14.2
By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans
14.2.1
Number of countries using ecosystem-based approaches to managing marine areas
14.3
Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels
14.3.1
14.4
By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and implement science-based management plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time feasible, at least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as determined by their biological characteristics
14.4.1
14.5
By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information
14.5.1
14.6
By 2020, prohibit certain forms of fisheries subsidies which contribute to overcapacity and overfishing, eliminate subsidies that contribute to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and refrain from introducing new such subsidies, recognizing that appropriate and effective special and differential treatment for developing and least developed countries should be an integral part of the World Trade Organization fisheries subsidies negotiation
14.6.1
Degree of implementation of international instruments aiming to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
14.7
By 2030, increase the economic benefits to Small Island developing States and least developed countries from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism
14.7.1
Sustainable fisheries as a proportion of GDP in small island developing States, least developed countries and all countries
14.a
Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
14.a.1
14.b
Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets
14.b.1
Degree of application of a legal/regulatory/policy/institutional framework which recognizes and protects access rights for small‐scale fisheries
14.c
Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources by implementing international law as reflected in United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which provides the legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources, as recalled in paragraph 158 of "The future we want"
14.c.1
Number of countries making progress in ratifying, accepting and implementing through legal, policy and institutional frameworks, ocean-related instruments that implement international law, as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, for the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and their resources
