Danish Shipping says 52% of new ship orders to sail on green fuels

In Denmark, Danish Shipping says Danish shipping companies currently have 67 new ships in the order book, which will be delivered from shipyards around the world in the coming years. This increases the number of Danish ships in the order books for the third year in a row. Of these ships, 35, just over 52%, will be sailing on green fuels, including the service operation vessel (SOV), which ESVAGT and Ørsted are expected to receive in 2024. It is the world’s first of its kind that can sail on green fuels. 

The ordered tonnage has increased by 7% compared to the same time last year, and if you look at the ships’ tonnage, the green development appears even more clearly. Over 80% of the new tonnage can sail on green fuels.
