Record-breaking new energy shipbuilding! 61% of orders in the first quarter adopted green fuel
Global maritime carbon emission regulations and policies continue to intensify. Clarksons Research closely tracks the use of environmentally friendly ship technologies: In the new ship orders in the first quarter of this year, 61% of ships can use alternative fuels, setting a historical record (48% excluding LNG carriers). Among them, 10% of the ships can use both LNG and ammonia fuel. In terms of tonnage, 57% of orders (101 ships with a total tonnage of 9.3 million) use LNG fuel; 3.4% of orders use methanol fuel (4 ships with a total tonnage of 4.6 million); 0.6% of orders use ethane fuel (2 ships with a total tonnage of 1.1 million); 0.7% of orders use battery hybrid propulsion. In addition, 12% of orders have ammonia fuel provisions (26 ships with a total tonnage of 2 million); 1.4% of orders have LNG provisions (10 ships with a total tonnage of 0.2 million); 0.1% of orders have hydrogen fuel provisions (3 ships with a total tonnage of 0.015 million). These ships can be retrofitted to use alternative fuels in the future.
