According to an official release, Germany’s Leonhardt & Blumberg has ordered four MR tankers fitted with open-loop scrubbers that are suitable for conversion to run on methanol.
The four 49,500 DWT methanol dual-fuel-ready ships will be built by Guangzhou Shipyard International in China, the company said in a statement on its website last week.
The ships are due for delivery from January 2027.
Their design features allow them to transport cargo with less carbon emission, making them more environmentally friendly than standard vessels, and the vessels will comply with Tier III and EEDI Phase 3 standards.
