The number of liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fuelled vessels has grown significantly from 21 in 2010 to 590 today, with 564 more on order, projecting over 1,150 vessels by 2028.
That’s according to recent reports from SEA-LNG, which also note that LNG-fuelled vessels account for more than 2% of the global shipping fleet, with the order book continuing to grow.
Figures in the report suggest that a further 564 LNG-fuelled vessels are on order and, once fulfilled, these will take the total number of LNG vessels in operation by the end of 2028 to around 1,154.
