LR and MARIC unveil tri-fuel-ready tanker concept amid marine fuel uncertainty

Lloyd's Register and MARIC have introduced a tri-fuel-ready tanker design supporting LNG, methanol, or ammonia, reflecting shipowners' hedging against uncertain future fuel regulations. The concept is a design study, not an order, so commercial uptake remains unproven. It signals continued investment in flexible vessel designs as the industry navigates decarbonization.
