Container shipping company X-Press Feeders has ordered 16 new feeder vessels capable of running on methanol.
The 1,170 TEU ships will be built by New Danyang Shipbuilding Co and Ningbo Xinle Shipbuilding Group for delivery between the fourth quarter of 2023 and the end of 2024, the company said in a press release on Tuesday.
The ships will have dual-fuelled engines that can run either on methanol or conventional bunkers.
