Ship & Bunker had reported in May that the vessel made its maiden call at Yangshan on May 22 . The vessel is the first in a planned series of 10 vessels due for delivery between 2026 and 2028 . While LNG is becoming a more widely available alternative marine fuel than options such as methanol or ammonia, these vessels may still need to transition to lower-carbon fuels such as bio-LNG as emissions rules tighten. Bio-LNG can be used as a drop-in fuel in LNG-fuelled ships.
