Niraj Nanda, our Chief Commercial Officer, represented Anglo‑Eastern in March at Aarohan 2.0, joining the panel ‘New Energy Frontiers’ to discuss LNG, LPG and the future of green propulsion.
Speaking alongside Abhishek Asija (Global CEO at GMOS World), Kaushik Seal (President at Institute of Marine Engineers, India) and Saunak Rai (Chairman at Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers ASEAN branch) on the panel moderated by Jagmeet Makkar (Independent Non-Executive Director at Heidmar), Niraj shared perspectives on why shipping is not facing a single energy transition, but an energy diversification – a multi‑fuel era where LNG, LPG, methanol, ammonia, and eventually hydrogen, are likely to co-exist and progress at different speeds across trades and regions, unfolding against a backdrop of uncertainty that the industry has already been navigating for several years.
Niraj highlighted the growing importance of designing vessels with built‑in optionality, and the critical role of effective vessel management in turning that optionality into real value. By integrating design readiness with strong operational oversight, crew competence and safety management from day one, owners can make measured investments today while retaining the flexibility to adapt as fuel infrastructure, regulation and market demand continue to evolve.
Thank you to the event organisers at Integrated Maritime Exchange for convening this meaningful discussion, and to all panellists for an insightful exchange.
