The growth of this regional market is attributed because Norway region in Europe is considered to be the biggest bunking center, as it offers more than 18,000 LNG bunk stations

Asia Pacific region is predicted to provide significant opportunities for LNG bunkering. The region is a manufacturing hub. Because of this, the manufacturing and production activities in this region have a demand for energy.

Some of the industry players operating in the LNG bunkering market include Skangas, Korea Gas Corporation, Harvey Gulf International Marine LLC, Fjord Line, Polskie LNG, Royal Dutch Shell Plc., ENN Energy, Prima LNG, Bomin Linde LNG GmbH & Co KG, and Crowley Maritime Corporation, among others.
