MPC Container Ships (MPCC) is in talks with liner operators that could lead to more newbuilding projects for methanol-propelled container ships.
“This is going to be the trend,” chief executive Constantin Baack told TradeWinds after the company unveiled an order for a brace of 1,300-teu dual-fuel vessels to be built in China.
The Oslo-listed company has opted for methanol propulsion as it was a proven technology, he said.
