Siem Car Carriers’ dual-fuel newbuilding project is yet another example of Norwegian-based operators spearheading the use of LNG as a fuel in the vehicle shipping sector.
With strong government support, Norway operates more LNG-fuelled vessels than any other country, with DNV GL data showing all of the world’s six pure car carriers are controlled by Norwegians.
The Siem project is also backed by car manufacturer Volkswagen and bunker supplier Shell.
