Constantin Baack has highlighted retrofitting as a “super-important” component in MPC Container Ships’ fleet renewal process.

The chief executive of the Hamburg-based boxship tonnage provider and its largest shareholder, MPC Capital, told a Capital Link decarbonisation forum that it had completed 20 retrofits this year.

Baack believes that sharing the burden and benefit with charterparties and partners is the key in helping shipping decarbonise.
