[NEW YORK] Royal Dutch Shell plc, General Electric Co (GE) and a company co-founded by T Boone Pickens are planning investments in natural gas-powered shipping as record US output spurs the merchant fleet to use a new fuel.

Clean Energy Fuels Corp, which Mr Pickens helped start, will begin construction next year on the country's first fuel station for cargo ships running on liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Jacksonville, Florida.

Shell said in March it's planning LNG plants for the Great Lakes and Gulf Coast.
