We are pleased to inform you of a Port Metro Vancouver (PMV) research initiative to explore the demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel. This survey will take you about 10 to 15 minutes to complete and will also cover topics related to LNG bunkering activities in the deep sea and short sea shipping sectors.
As an important customer group of PMV, your firm is being asked to participate in this survey. Lloyd's Register Marine has been retained to conduct the study on the port authority's behalf.
This survey will close on XXXX, 2016, so we encourage you to participate as soon as possible.
We greatly appreciate your continued interest in Port Metro Vancouver!
Thank you,
