X-PRESS Feeders, the Singapore-based container shipping company, has ordered 16 1,170 TEU methanol-fueled containerships.
The order was secured in equal parts by two Chinese shipyards, New Dayang Shipbuilding Co and Ningbo Xinle Shipbuilding Group.
The first of these vessels is scheduled to be operating on X-Press Feeders’ European and American routes from the fourth quarter of 2023.
X-PRESS Feeders CEO Shmuel Yoskovitz said that his company was excited about the order, particularly as the newbuildings would offer state-of-the-art technology and contribute to reaching the environmental sustainability target.
