Improving Liquefied Natural Gas Bunkering in Korea through the Chinese and Japanese Experiences
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The analysis is very interesting, but I think it is aimed at a limited readership. Chapters should be included that mention the interaction of China-Japan-Korea and Europe. Are there any regulations that do not apply to the European market? I believe that an additional analysis should be made of Asia's relationship with Europe (or/and U.S.) in the implementation of the regulations.
Give your opinion on when you think the regulations will be implemented due to the pandemic of COVID-19.
Line 31: please write United Nations (UN)
Chapter 1.1: This chapter is very good. An extra chapter is needed from the perspective of Europe and U.S. on this issue.
Line 66-67: please change the font of ‘since 1983’, with the correct one.

Reviewer 3 Report
Ln 31-34 LNG is not a solution to CO2 emissions and it may not the main objective for the HFO change to LNG.
Ln 117 Table 2 is difficult to read with the alignment and adjustment presented. Some data are missing at the bottom of the Table 2.
Ln 151-155 EEDI and CO2 are not related to the change of HFO to LNG or the topic of this study.
Ln 271 Table 3 is difficult to read with the current alignment and adjustment.
Ln 302 Table 4 needs improvement in alignment.
Ln 368 LNG may not be the best solution for GHG problems.
Ln 438 Authors may have to define and differentiate "green", "clean" and "renewable" fuels for ships.
Ln 471-472 There are various studies if LNG can provide long-term objective of "environmental friendliness". Authors may have to study this argument from another prospective.
