Evergreen Marine Corp is looking at methanol dual-fuel solutions for its next mega-size container ship newbuildings.

Shipbuilding sources say the Taiwanese liner company has launched a request for offers calling for the building of a series of 11 methanol dual-fuelled 24,000-teu container ships as it continues with its efforts to decarbonise its fleet.

Evergreen is said to have approached at least six shipyards for quotes.
