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.     The opinions expressed herein are the author's and not necessarily those of The Xinde Marine News.
