Belgian shipowner has indicated that it is not done with gas shipping newbuildings just days after announcing two LPG carrier newbuildings.

In a results statement, the company said: “Exmar is actively looking at ordering newbuilds and has already ordered two midsize gas carriers, with LPG and, if available, ammonia as a fuel.”

Last week, Exmar revealed it had contracted two 46,000-cbm midsize LPG and ammonia carriers with dual-fuel LPG propulsion at $69m each with options for an additional pair of vessels.
