Alternative-fuel ships outpace port readiness, new LR report finds
In simple terms

Why it matters for the Gulf
- Alternative-fuel ship orders outpace supporting port infrastructure.
- Fuel availability gaps could slow adoption of alternative fuels.
- Gulf ports handling fuel bunkering could face pressure to adapt.
