LNG Fleet Growth Demands Security

LNG Fleet Growth Demands Security

Introduction

Capital Clean Energy Carriers’ $770 million order for LNG carriers at HD Hyundai Samho signals a major expansion in energy shipping capacity. As high-value fleets grow, so must their security strategies.

Industry context

The LNG sector’s growth places strategic assets on longer global routes, often through piracy-prone or geopolitically unstable waters. These vessels and their crews face rising threats—from organised crime and smuggling to cyber intrusion and compliance vulnerabilities under the ISPS Code. Ensuring vessel protection is now a front-line operational necessity, not a background checkbox.

Practical measures

• Embed trained, armed maritime security personnel on LNG carriers transiting high-risk areas.
• Implement continuous watchkeeping and threat monitoring during voyages.
• Conduct pre-departure drills for piracy, emergency evacuation, and cyber breach scenarios.
• Adopt intelligence-led routing that factors geopolitical instability and threat intelligence.
• Review and upgrade standard operating procedures and security technologies regularly.
