Clarksons' report indicates that by January 1, 2026, alternative fuel capability in the shipping sector is largely concentrated in the orderbook, with 2,036 ships ordered, while only 2,756 vessels in the active fleet are fitted with alternative fuels. LNG-fitted ships lead this category, and the report notes significant infrastructure developments, including 222 active LNG bunkering ports. Additionally, emissions control equipment is widespread, with nearly 7,000 vessels equipped with scrubbers and over 5,500 with NOx reduction systems.
