Despite moving forward with scrubber installations, Dorian LPG still has an eye on LPG as fuel — it's just too expensive right now.

The New York-listed announced scrubber installations on three more ships Monday, bringing its total to 10, then on its earnings conference call said LPG conversion could be available as soon as next year.

"We would like to think that LPG will be competitive, so as to gain a bigger market share to penetrate more markets," said chief executive John Hadjipateras.
