TAIWAN's evergreen Marine Corporation (Evergreen) has signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) with X-Press Feeders to place its containers on the latter's new dual fuel green methanol vessels, reports UK's Bunkerspot.
Last year X-Press Feeders Group member Eastaway ordered six new 1,250 TEU container vessels that will be fitted with dual-fuel engines capable of operating on conventional fuel and methanol, bringing the number of dual-fuel vessels in the pipeline for the X-Press Feeders Group to 14.
In a statement issued February 1, X-Press Feeders said the two companies intend to work together to launch a feeder network, which will be the first in Europe to be powered by green methanol.
The dual fuel ships will be based at the Port of Rotterdam and covering ports in the Baltic Sea and Scandinavia. Ultimately, the 14 dual-fuel ships that X-Press Feeders has on order for delivery from 2024 Q2 through mid-2026 will be operated within Europe and the Mediterranean.
Last July, it was announced that OCI Hyfuels would supply the shipping company with green methanol in the Port of Rotterdam from 2024.
