LPG carrier owners seem blasé about the prospect of ammonia as a shipping fuel.

At Capital Link's International Shipping Forum on Monday, Dorian LPG (USA) chief executive John Lycouris said the industry should not focus on “fairytales” when it comes to cutting emissions.

“I believe the big view is that ammonia will be used for the carriage of hydrogen, not for burning,” Lycouris said during a panel of LPG carrier owners during the online event.
