Evergreen and X-Press Feeders collaborate to establish sustainable shipping lanes in Europe

Evergreen Marine Corporation, a major container shipping company, has partnered with X-Press Feeders to place its containers on X-Press Feeders’ new green methanol dual-fuel vessels in Europe. This agreement includes plans to create a feeder network powered by green methanol, a renewable fuel made from organic waste and residues.

The 14 dual-fuel vessels ordered by X-Press Feeders will be initially based in the port of Rotterdam and cover ports in the Baltic Sea and Scandinavia. The company has also signed a contract with Dutch fuel supplier OCI Global to supply ISCC-EU certified green methanol.

The move to deploy environmentally friendly, methanol-powered dual-fuel vessels reflects X-Press Feeders’ commitment to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Francis Goh, COO of X-Press Feeders, emphasized the need for immediate action to achieve these emissions reduction targets, encouraging other stakeholders in the shipping industry to join them on the journey towards more sustainable shipping.
