5. Draws attention to the irreversible environmental damage caused by oil-based emissions and marine fuels to the oceans, polar regions and the Arctic, and highlights the potential that the transition to LNG offers for decarbonising maritime transport; recognises also the benefits of liquefied bio-gas (LBG) that can utilise the same infrastructure and supply chain as LNG; emphasises the role of the renewal of fleet in order to achieve the energy transition towards LNG and renewable energy; urges the Commission to make funds available to support European projects to this end.
