Methanol and LNG prove fuels of choice for April’s newbuildings

Orders for methanol and LNG-fuelled ships were almost equally split in April, according to DNV’s Alternative Fuels Insight (AFI) platform.

The data revealed that 49 alternative-fuelled vessels were ordered last month, while a total of 120 new orders have been place in the first four months of the year. This equates to a 5% increase compared to 2024, even as the overall newbuild market declines.
