X-Press Feeders takes delivery of methanol dual-fuel vessel from China

Singapore-based global maritime container shipping company X-Press Feeders on Thursday (16 April) announced the successful delivery of its first-ever dual-fuel vessel, built by Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings.

Departing from Shanghai to Rotterdam via Singapore, the vessel marked “a giant leap” in the company’s efforts to sustainable shipping.

“As the first of its kind built in China, it features a dual-fuel engine that can run on green methanol, spearheading Europe’s first feeder network powered by green methanol starting in Q3,” the firm said in a social media post.

Manifold Times previously reported OCI Hyfuels will be supplying X-Press Feeders with green methanol in the Port of Rotterdam from 2024.

Manifold Times also previously reported the company aims to create ‘green routes’ early next year to the Scandinavia-Baltic region of northern Europe by using its dual-fuel vessels.

The maritime shipping company, which operates a fleet of more than 100 vessels, has 14 dual-fuel vessels on order and due for delivery from 2024 through to mid-2026. X-Press Feeders’ 14 dual-fuel ships are each at 1,200 TEU capacity with length overall (LOA) of 148 metres.
