Norwegian carrier<\/strong> MPC Container Ships ASA (MPCC) <\/p>\n

has ordered two carbon-neutral 1,300 TEU vessels from Chinese shipyard Taizhou <\/p>\n

Sanfu Ship Engineering in a bid to establish a green transportation corridor in <\/p>\n

Northern Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"1659927294495814.jpg\"\/<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vessels come with a dual fuel engine setup which enables operation on <\/p>\n

methanol as well as conventional marine gasoil (MGO).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MPCC said the new vessels will allow the carrier to take a significant leap <\/p>\n

forward in its commitment to use carbon-neutral solutions in regional container <\/p>\n

trades together with partners.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Delivery is scheduled for the second half of 2024.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The newly ordered vessels come with 15-year time charters to Norwegian <\/p>\n

transportation company North Sea Container Line AS (NCL), backed by contracts of <\/p>\n

affreightment (CoAs) from various parties, including a 15-year CoA with <\/p>\n

Norwegian industrial group Elkem ASA.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The project has been awarded NOK 13.7 million ($1.4 million) by Enova, <\/p>\n

owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, and NOK 60 million <\/p>\n

($6 million) from the NOx fund, the Norwegian business sector\u2019s fund to reduce <\/p>\n

emissions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The vessels will be majority owned by MPCC (90.1 per cent) together with <\/p>\n

Topeka MPC Maritime AS (9.9 per cent), a joint venture between Topeka Holding <\/p>\n

AS, a zero-emission shipping company owned by Wilhelmsen Group, and MPC Capital <\/p>\n

AG.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited to announce the order of two carbon-neutral newbuildings with <\/p>\n

long-term time charters,\u201d said MPCC CEO, Constantin Baack.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with our partners NCL and Elkem, this project allows us to set up <\/p>\n

a green transportation corridor in Northern Europe, proving our ability to <\/p>\n

identify and execute on opportunities that are accretive whilst allowing us to <\/p>\n

make the right move towards a further decarbonisation of the fleet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also demonstrates that we can meet ambitious environmental goals by <\/p>\n

joining forces with like-minded partners and we are looking forward to <\/p>\n

facilitating a green container shipping supply chain along the Norwegian <\/p>\n

coastline.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Back in 2019, MPCC joined the Trident Alliance, an international network of <\/p>\n

shipping companies partnering for effective enforcement of sulphur <\/p>\n

regulations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The alliance\u2018s aims is to ensure the IMO\u2019s upcoming sulphur regulations are <\/p>\n

enforced by the wider shipping industry.<\/p>\n
