Exmar Takes Delivery of LPG Dual-Fuel Gas Carrier
Maritime transportation company Exmar has taken delivery of a new LPG dual-fuel midsize gas carrier for its French unit, Exmar France.
The 41,000 m3 vessel, Moriond, is the third LPG dual-fuel carrier in the fleet, the company said in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday.
The vessel is capable of running on LPG and conventional marine fuels.
LPG remains a niche alternative bunker fuel for now, being used almost exclusively in gas carriers.
The global LPG-fuelled fleet is currently made up of 168 ships, with another 149 ships expected to be delivered by 2030, according to classification society DNV data. A majority of these ships are gas carriers.
Earlier this month, the company took delivery of the world’s first oceangoing vessel capable of running on ammonia.
