China’s Zhoushan Xinya Shipbuilding has scooped the world’s first methanol dual-fuel boxship conversion contract.
The shipyard will retrofit an unnamed AP Moller-Maersk container vessel next year.
The contract was signed in a lavish ceremony in Zhoushan on Wednesday.
Guests included Han Jun, a member of the standing committee of the Zhoushan municipal party committee, and Xu Weibo, mayor of the Putuo district.
