KEPPEL Offshore & Marine (O&M) is well-placed to land its first newbuild order for liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fuelled container ships.

Keppel Corporation's O&M unit confirmed on Friday that Honolulu-based Pasha Hawaii had selected Keppel AmFels for the construction of two 2,525 TEU (20-foot equivalent units), LNG-fuelled box ships. This newbuild order comes with an option for another two vessels.
