Hapag-Lloyd Orders Eight Dual-Fuel Methanol Container Ships

Hapag-Lloyd AG has announced the order of eight new dual-fuel methanol container ships from the Chinese shipyard CIMC Raffles, with delivery scheduled for 2028 and 2029. The vessels, each with a capacity of 4,500 TEU, represent an investment of over 500 million US dollars. These ships are equipped with dual-fuel methanol engines, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Hapag-Lloyd has also entered into a long-term agreement with Goldwind for the supply of 250,000 tons of green methanol per year, composed of bio- and e-methanol, targeting at least a 70 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The company's strategy includes replacing older vessels, reducing emissions by approximately one third by 2030 compared to 2022, and achieving net-zero fleet operations by 2045. Additionally, Hapag-Lloyd plans to charter 14 more new vessels in various size classes between 2027 and 2029.
