ii. Among the key regulatory documents selected, those dispositions deemed most relevant to the competitiveness of LNG as a marine fuel are evaluated in order to identify the main regulatory and policy-risks to the use of LNG.

iii. Perform a set of scenario-based numerical analyses exploring the impact of alternative regulatory and policy developments on the LNG competitiveness in terms of greenhouse gas emission reduction an economics.
