The deal takes effect immediately, though Hapag-Lloyd has not disclosed its duration.

The shipping company reiterated its ambition to achieve net-zero fleet operations by 2045, with LBM expected to play a significant role.

Shell has been supplying LBM through its global LNG bunkering network since 2024 and currently offers the fuel at 22 locations worldwide, Hapag-Lloyd added.
