The BBC are putting “green” in scare quotes. I.e., this is what politicians/owners claimed about the ship. They are calculating upstream emissions from LNG into the footprint of one ferry, but don’t include the upstream emissions of the diesel fuel? Upstream emissions from LNG tend to be higher than either petrol, diesel or pipeline gas. US LNG is likely more damaging to climate than even coal.
