385 methanol-ready ships ordered but only 25 ports equipped for bunkering

385 methanol-ready ships are on order, but only 25 ports can bunker them. Lloyd's Register warns that alternative-fuel vessel orders are outpacing port infrastructure, with methanol and ammonia bunkering still limited. This imbalance risks stranding investment in cleaner propulsion. Aligning fleet growth with real-world readiness is not optional, it is essential.
