A dramatic fall in prices has meant that two of Himalaya Shipping’s bulk carriers have been able to bunker with LNG marine fuel for the first time.

The Oslo-listed shipowner on Wednesday said its 210,000-dwt, dual-fuel newcastlemaxes Mount Norefjell and Mount Matterhorn (both built 2023) have loaded LNG bunkers in Singapore within the past few days.

LNG prices were $472 per tonne on Monday, adjusted for calorific values, according to Himalaya.
