As part of our Career Connect Washington Maritime Sector ongoing work, we actively track, document, and inform about emerging technologies and trends. ABS examines LNG, methanol and ammonia as alternative fuel options for newbuild vessels in the latest technical and operational advisory.

Vessel owners and operators are increasingly prioritizing dual-fuel propulsion solutions to address two key objectives: reducing fuel costs and meeting global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions regulations.

ABS’s comprehensive technical and operational advisory takes a closer look at three primary dual-fuel solutions on the horizon for newbuild vessels: LNG, methanol and ammonia. This ABS advisory provides shipowners with a comprehensive and practical examination of alternative fuel pathways helping them meet the global emissions reduction targets and operational efficiency goals amidst all the different regulatory pressures.
