MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company is sticking to LNG dual-fuel ships despite planning to adopt ammonia as a zero-carbon fuel for future newbuildings.
Shipbuilding sources following MSC’s newbuilding activities said the liner giant has approached shipyards in South Korea and China for at least six 8,000-teu container ship newbuildings that can run on LNG or very low-sulphur fuel.
“Several shipyards have participated in MSC’s newbuildings project,” one source said.
