OOCL names second 24,000-TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship
In China, OOCL on August 28 named OOCL Grace, the second of seven 24,000-TEU methanol dual-fuel container ships being built by Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering for the Hong Kong based carrier.
The vessel follows OOCL Wisdom, the first ship in the series, which was named in May, completed its first green methanol bunkering in July and then began its maiden voyage to Europe. OOCL said the seven ships are currently the world’s largest methanol dual-fuel container vessels.
The series is part of OOCL’s broader effort to expand and modernize its fleet with lower emission propulsion options and more digital capability.
“With the successive delivery of OOCL Grace and her sister vessels, we will continue to optimize our capacity deployment and network configuration,” said Peter Pan, OOCL director of trades and executive committee member.
