Sources: 4. Developments: 3. Lloyd’s Register has entered a joint development project with Seapeak, Kongsberg Maritime, and Tunable to validate continuous emissions measurement technology on a new LNG carrier. Announced at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, the initiative aims to independently verify the accuracy of Kongsberg Maritime’s Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) using Tunable’s gas analysis technology. The project will compare actual CO2 emissions recorded by the vessel’s CEMS against engine test bed data and default emissions factors. This process is intended to assess how direct CO2 measurement aligns with International Maritime Organization (IMO) and European Union (EU) emissions reporting frameworks. Lloyd’s Register will act as the independent verifier for data collected from a new LNG carrier scheduled for delivery in early 2027, seeking to increase confidence in emissions data for regulators, charterers, and shipowners. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-19: Maritime firms launch trial for LNG vessel emissions monitoring Lloyd’s Register, Seapeak, Kongsberg Maritime, and Tunable are trialing continuous emissions monitoring technology on a new LNG carrier to validate CO2 data for IMO and EU regulatory compliance. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/maritime-firms-launch-trial-for-lng-vessel-emissions-monitoring ### 2026-09-16: Lloyd’s Register and partners launch LNG emissions monitoring trial Lloyd’s Register, Seapeak, Kongsberg Maritime, and Tunable have launched a project to validate continuous CO2 emissions monitoring technology on a new LNG carrier to support IMO and EU regulatory compliance. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lloyds-register-and-partners-launch-lng-emissions-monitoring-trial ### 2026-08-19: Lloyd’s Register to support LNG carrier conversion for Gabon gas project Lloyd’s Register will provide technical assurance for converting an LNG carrier into a floating storage unit to support Perenco’s offshore gas project in Gabon. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lloyds-register-to-support-lng-carrier-conversion-for-gabon-gas-project --- Cite as: LNG emissions monitoring technology development.
