Bunker supplier Titan has taken Shell to task for opting for conventional fuel with scrubbers over LNG fuelling on its latest batch of tanker newbuildings.
In a post on LinkedIn Titan asked: “Shell are you forfeiting your right to be a leader of the energy transition? With great power comes great responsibility.”
Dutch fuel supplier Titan cites a TradeWinds report from 10 October, which detailed that Shell has booked 10 conventionally-fuelled, 50,000-dwt tankers at China’s Guangzhou Shipyard International.
