Dual-fuel container ship and vehicle carrier fleet reaches 400 ships on the water in International Shipping News,Shipping: Emission Possible 03/02/2026 The World Shipping Council (WSC) has just published its latest update to the WSC Dual-Fuel Fleet Dashboard, tracking the global liner shipping industry’s investment in new ships capable of running on renewable and lower-emission fuels, and showing how the fleet is preparing for the energy transition. As of December 2025, the number of dual-fuel container ships and vehicle carriers on the water has reached 400, up from 218 in 2024. The number of dual-fuel ships on order has also continued to grow, reaching 726 vessels, despite a flurry of deliveries shifting from the orderbook onto the water. Across the container ship and vehicle carrier orderbook, 74% of vessels on order are dual-fuel. In total, 1,126 dual-fuel container ships and vehicle carriers are now delivered or on order – an increase of 28% compared with last year. This represents over $150 billion of investment by the liner shipping industry in these new vessels. The expansion of the dual-fuel fleet reflects the scale of investment underway across the liner shipping industry. These vessels are built for the fuel transition, with the capability to switch to renewable and near-zero fuels as they become commercially viable and available at scale.
