POSEIDON MED is the LNG bunkering initiative from fellow EU countries in the Eastern Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea led by QEnergy Europe and organised by top experts in marine energy, gas and finance sectors. Its ultimate objective is to prepare in detail a global solution of infrastructure development in the Mediterranean area so that LNG can be embraced as the marine fuel of the future making thus shipping more efficient and sustainable.
is the first Cross European Border project
which aims to introduce LNG as the main fuel for the shipping industry and develop a sufficient infrastructure network of bunkering value chain. It focuses in the eastern Mediterranean region with five Member States (Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Croatia and Slovenia) involved.
POSEIDON MED as a Global Project aims at stirring the shipping waters in Greece and has been received enthusiastically by the shipping community, the local society, as well as the political administration.
Fact Sheet
