The World Shipping Council (WSC) has published its latest update to its WSC Dual-Fuel Fleet Dashboard. This dashboard tracks the global liner shipping industry’s investment in vessels capable of running on renewable and lower-emission fuels, and how the liner fleet is preparing for the energy transition.  As of March 2026, the number of dual-fuel container ships and vehicle carriers on the water has reached 440 – which is a 65% year-over-year increase. Furthermore, the number of dual-fuel vessels on order has also continued to grow, reaching 764 ships. Across the order book, 78% of container ship orders are dual-fuel, 94% of vehicle carrier orders are dual-fuel, and 17% of orders across the rest of the fleet are dual-fuel.  Joe Kramek, WSC President & CEO, said: “These vessels are long-term investments built with flexibility in mind. Ships built today will operate for decades, and the ability to operate on different fuel pathways helps reduce risk, strengthen energy security, and support more resilient global supply chains.” In total, 1,204 dual-fuel container ships and vehicle carriers are now delivered or on order, representing over $180 billion USD in private investment.  Kramek continued: “Continued constructive engagement at the International Maritime Organisation remains essential to provide the global regulatory certainty needed to scale investment in alternative fuels.” ...
