Exmar launched its two LPG-fueled midsize gas carriers at a naming ceremony at HD Hyundai Mipo shipyard on 7 January.

The Society of International Gas Tanker & Terminal Operators Ltd (SIGTTO) has issued a publication with guidance on the transportation of liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) on board gas carriers.

Anthony Veder has installed a wind-assisted propulsion system on one of its vessels, Coral Patula, becoming the first company to install such a system on a gas carrier. 

In 2024, Nakilat has achieved a considerable fleet expansion by signing contracts for the construction of six advanced gas carriers, including two LNG carriers and four LPG/Ammonia carriers.

Wärtsilä Gas Solutions (WGS), will deliver the fuel supply and cargo handling systems for two new gas carriers that will operate with ammonia fuel.

Wärtsilä Gas Solutions, part of technology group Wärtsilä, will deliver the fuel supply system for two new gas carriers that will operate with ammonia fuel.

In December 2023, Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), Japan Engine Corporation, IHI Power Systems Co., and Nihon Shipyard Co., Ltd. signed a series of contracts to construct the world's first ammonia-fueled medium gas carrier (AFMGC) equipped with Japan-made engines.

Nakilat announced that it has placed orders with Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI) of South Korea for the construction of six gas vessels (two cutting-edge LNG carriers with a cargo capacity of 174,000 cubic meters each and four modern Very Large LPG/ Ammonia Gas carriers, with a substantial cargo capacity of 88,000 cubic meters.)

Wärtsilä will supply the Cargo Handling Systems (CHS) for four new medium gas carrier vessels, expected to primarily carry ammonia. The 45,000 m3 capacity ships are under construction at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) yard in Korea for UK and Singapore based Purus.

WinGD has signed a memorandum of understanding with KSS Line to explore X-DF-A dual-fuel ammonia engines for future newbuilds.
