so for those locations BGM developed mobile gas stations that are full turn-key filling stations packaged in a trailer that can be pulled by a light duty vehicle. This allows CNG to be transported and dispensed at any location not currently served by pipelines. Boats equipped with LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) can also be filled up directly from a tanker truck since LNG is not transported by pipeline.
Recreational boats that are transported via trailer and not usually kept on the water can also take advantage of the 3,000 public CNG stations available in the US.
BGM is working with customers in the United States (US) and around the world that have requested the on-board fuel systems and also provides Natural Gas fueling stations to some of these customers. The company supports the technical efforts of marine service centers and shipyards in the US, which install the natural gas systems locally. The company is also very customer friendly and offers to certify your local favorite marine service center with the first few customers at that location.
BGM manufacturers its products in North Carolina (USA) and ships them to marine service centers in the US that are certified by
BGM and directly to international customers. Outside the USA, Blue Gas Marine is meeting the need in many areas of Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and South America where the need is great to reduce operating cost and move to a greener alternative fuel to control pollution and emissions.
“In the last year we have seen an exponential international interest. It is also great to see that our original vision of truly changing lives and making a global contribution to reducing marine pollution is being realized. It’s exciting and we know that as we move into larger ships, ferries and workboats the positive impact that clean natural gas brings to the environment can be even greater,” Miguel Guerreiro, President and CEO said.
The company has a mission to allow boaters to boat more often with clean, affordable natural gas and has been recognized in as the pioneer in natural gas power technology in the marine industry. The Company has received national and international recognition for the technology starting in 2015 with Best Product in Boating Industry, 2015 Innovation Award from IBEX, and the 2016 International Boat Builders Award for Environmental Initiative. Additionally, the company
President/CEO Miguel Guerreiro was named as a Mover and Shaker in the marine industry by Boating Industry 2016.
The system is available and applicable to heavy usage boaters like: towing and salvage, Houseboats, First Responders, Pontoons, Professional/Recreational Fishermen/Charters, Military and Law Enforcement, Ferries, Workboats and others. The system is compatible with gasoline inboard, outboard 4-stroke with known brands such as Mercury, Mercruiser, Suzuki, Yamaha, and on Diesel engines with Caterpillar, Volvo, Cummins and Detroit diesel engines as a few popular examples. The company also provides the fuel where it is needed.
All of this came about as a result of the innovative thinking of the company founder Miguel Guerreiro. He is an avid saltwater recreational fisherman and recognized that the high cost of marine fuel was a barrier to boating and fishing more often, he then set out to find a cheaper and more affordable alternative which is also more environmentally friendly. It also helped that he was a NASA engineer and that experience in creating solutions for complex problems helped the technology succeed in the early days of the company.
