With that in mind, it would seem to be an increasingly busy time. “Approximately 50% of the new-build enquiries for LPG carriers request an LPG FGSS, or to be LPG fuel ‘ready’ — i.e. the design is ‘for [LPG], but not with’ — facilitating the ability to readily retrofit an LPG FGSS to meet market demands,” Campbell explained. “In the future, we expect that the significant majority of LPG carriers will be LPG fuelled. We also recognise that, with LPG being a widely available commodity, LPG as a fuel for other ship types is attracting interest, particularly as a more viable environmental and commercial alternative to scrubber solutions.” All of which infers sizable opportunities for the company at home and abroad in the coming years.
