As of March, the in-service and on-order fleet of LNG-powered seagoing ships has reached the 200 mark. Here, LNG World Shipping exclusively lists the 97 LNG-fuelled ships on order, as of March.
We have divided the list into four categories ꟷ passenger ships; tankers and bulk carriers; containers and dry cargo ships; and service and supply ships. Here is our list of LNG-fuelled ships on order; we will also publish sector-specific studies on each of the four ship types.
The fleet of LNG-fuelled vessels hit its double century on 20 March 2017 when Sovcomflot confirmed orders for four ice-class Aframax tankers of 114,000 dwt at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries. That order brings the fleet of LNG-fuelled vessels that are not LNG carriers to 103 ships in service and 97 on order, an increase year on year of 23 per cent.
