YARD group Sembcorp Marine is investing in a fleet of liquefied natural gas (LNG)-hybrid powered tugs, which would allow its operations to comply with emission targets being rolled out by the International Maritime Organization, the industry's overarching regulatory body.

The yard group plans to design and build up to 12 such tugs to replace the existing diesel-powered ones in the years through to 2025.
