Hapag-Lloyd, the world’s fifth-largest container carrier, has retrofitted the dual-fuelled LNG vessel Brussels Express and is awaiting its first out of twelve 23,500+ TEU dual fuel LNG newbuilt vessels by mid-2023.
LNG bunker demand has grown rapidly in recent years, with container lines in particular at the forefront of ordering gas-powered tonnage.
