Hapag-Lloyd has closed a contract with the Chinese shipyard CIMC Raffles to build eight new container ships, each with a capacity of 4,500 TEU. These ships, which will feature dual propulsion technology<\/g><\/g> methanol-fueled dual propulsion technology, are scheduled for delivery between 2028 and 2029. The investment exceeds US$500 million, consolidating the company’s commitment to a sustainable maritime operation. <\/p>\n\n

Expansion of the sustainable fleet with methanol-fueled ships.<\/h2>\n\n

The new ships will add to a growing fleet of green vessels, complementing the current 37 dual-fuel LNG units in operation or in the pipeline. The new series of vessels will contribute to significant reductions in annual CO\u2082 emissions, thanks to the use of green methanol derived from renewable sources such as biomethanol and e-methanol<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

As part of the same strategic plan, Hapag-Lloyd<\/a><\/strong> has agreed to the long-term charter of 14 additional newbuilding vessels, in capacity ranges between 1,800 and 4,500 TEU. These vessels will be phased in between 2027 and 2029, strengthening operational autonomy and reducing exposure to the charter market. <\/p>\n\n

One more step towards decarbonization<\/h2>\n\n

The shipping line has also signed a supply agreement with Chinese energy company Goldwind, which will guarantee the annual supply of 250,000 metric tons of green methanol<\/strong>. This alliance will enable Hapag-Lloyd to make progress on its goal of reducing absolute emissions of greenhouse gases by 30%. greenhouse gas emissions<\/a><\/strong> emissions by 2030, with the ultimate goal of achieving climate-neutral operations by 2045. <\/p>\n\n

Fleet renewal is a central component of the company’s long-term corporate plan. According to Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd, these additions will make it possible to replace less efficient vessels, optimize costs and strengthen the group’s environmental commitment with advanced technological solutions. <\/p>\n\n
