MPC Container Ships Christens Methanol Dual-Fuel Boxship
Oslo-based MPC Container Ships has christened a methanol dual-fuel container ship that will operate under a seven-year time charter with DP World.
The 1,250 TEU ship, DP World Southampton, will be deployed in Northern Europe, the company said in a LinkedIn post on Thursday.
“Her methanol-capable dual-fuel engine and shore power connectivity significantly reduce emissions compared to conventional vessels, marking another step in our fleet's transition toward more climate-friendly tonnage and our commitment to decarbonizing maritime transport,” it said in the post.
Last year, the company chartered another methanol dual-fuel container ship to North Sea Container Line.
The company has also ordered six alternative fuel ready container ships with China's Taizhou Sanfu Ship Engineering.
