  "account": "In October, DNV's Alternative Fuels Insight (AFI) platform documented 53 new orders for alternative-fueled vessels, as reported by DNV senior consultant Kristian Hammer. This marked a continuation of the trend from the previous month, which saw 69 such orders. Ammonia maintained its dominant position among alternative marine fuels, with LNG serving as a close second. Among LNG-capable vessels, 30 orders were recorded in October, a decline from the 48 recorded in September. The majority of these orders were for container ships, with 18 orders, followed by car carriers, which saw 12 orders. In the first ten months of 2026, a total of 230 LNG-capable vessels had been ordered, accounting for approximately 64% of all alternative-fueled vessel orders for the year so far. Container ships accounted for 134 of these orders, while car carriers made up 75. This means that these two segments together constituted 90% of LNG orders during the first ten months of the year. Additionally, four ammonia-capable vessels were ordered in October, ending a two-month period without any new ammonia orders.",
