With the introduction of new ECA areas and global emission regulations, owners are moving away from scrubber-fitted Container Ships to LNG- and Methanol-fueled vessels.
Over 56% of the current orderbook capacity, or more than 5.1 Mteu, is represented by LNG-fueled units. In terms of vessel count, the LNG “domination” is less pronounced, even though the largest chunk of 346 ships (43.4% of total) are still orders of this type.
Scrubbers are still the most commonly used system for emissions reduction in Container Ships, with over 22% of the entire fleet in terms of vessel count, and over 41.5% in terms of capacity, currently sailing equipped with one.
Naturally, larger vessels are given priority, with about 76.9% of all LNG and 63.1% of all Methanol new orders being Container Ships of more than 10,000 TEU capacity.
Alphaliner’s AXSInsights gives you the tools to monitor LNG-powered, Methanol-fuelled, and scrubber-fitted vessels in extensive detail.
