PIL Takes Delivery of Another LNG-Fuelled Boxship
Wednesday October 29, 2025
Singapore’s Pacific International Lines (PIL) has taken delivery of another dual-fuel LNG container ship.
The Kota Orkid is the fourth vessel in a series of 8,200 TEU ships, PIL said in a statement on its website on Tuesday.
It will operate on PIL’s route between Asia and West Africa.
PIL has another 12 dual-fuel LNG container ships on order, with five 13,000 TEU ships and seven 9,000 TEU ships.
As more LNG-capable ships join the global fleet, the demand for LNG and cleaner LNG alternatives such as bio-LNG is expected to grow.
Advisory firm Lansdowne Moritz estimates global LNG bunker demand will reach around 4 million mt this year, driven largely by Asia.
