In a monumental stride towards sustainable maritime transport, X-Press Feeders, the world’s largest independent common carrier, proudly announces the successful delivery of its inaugural dual-fuel vessel, capable of running on green methanol. Constructed by Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings, this groundbreaking vessel sets sail from Shanghai to Rotterdam via Singapore, heralding a new era of eco-conscious shipping.
As the first of its kind manufactured in China, the vessel boasts a dual-fuel engine capable of running on green methanol, positioning it at the forefront of Europe’s inaugural feeder network powered by this sustainable fuel, set to commence in the third quarter.
X-Press Feeders, renowned for its commitment to pioneering sustainability in the maritime industry, views this achievement as a significant step towards fostering a greener future for global shipping.
Established in 1972, X-Press Feeders has evolved into the largest independent common carrier globally, initially operating solely in Southeast Asia before expanding its footprint across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Mediterranean, and Europe.
