- Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII) has announced that energy major BP, French shipping giant CMA CGM and LNG containment technology expert GTT, are joining as members.
- Total membership is now 23, as the group increases its coverage of the world’s LNG supply chain.
- MAMII aims to reduce methane emissions from ships using LNG to near-zero by accelerating technologies to monitor and mitigate emissions.
Energy giant BP’s maritime arm BP Shipping, shipping company CMA CGM, and LNG containment technology expert GTT have joined the Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII), according to an article published on its website.
New membership
The three new members bring MAMII’s membership to 23, which includes Lloyd’s Register, JP Morgan, MSC, NYK Lines, Shell, and others.
Led by Safetytech Accelerator since 2022, MAMII was established to address methane emissions from ships using LNG as fuel. The initiative unites industry leaders, tech innovators, and maritime stakeholders, to advance technologies that monitor, measure and mitigate methane emissions.
The announcement was made in Houston at the industry conference Gastech 2024, during celebrations of MAMII’s second anniversary.

Earlier in 2024, MAMII released a report that sounded the alarm on the critical need for universal methane measurement standards and regulatory frameworks. The group warned that such standards are needed to speed up the adoption of technologies that cut methane emissions from ships.
MAMII has recently identified technologies that can be used to tackle methane slip via feasibility studies. It is now organizing trials and accelerating the most promising solutions for detecting and abating methane emissions.
