The Global Second Sales Contact Company Mediterranean Shipping (MSC) and Singapore Ship East Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) Signed 11 new LNG power 15300TEU container ship, this is the first leased LNG power new shipbuilding in Mediterranean shipping.

It is reported that Mediterranean Shipping has confirmed this lease, and each new ship has been at least 18 years, and the specific rental price is not announced.

In addition, Mediterranean Shipping is considering converting existing container ship orders to a double fuel container ship, including a 24,000TEU container ship in China shipyard.

Mediterranean Shipping said in the statement: "Although the delivery industry's decarburization path is still unclear, there is currently no new fuel that can be used worldwide can be used in large-scale use of 570 ships in our fleet.

But this lease will help us improve carbon dioxide emission performance, provide other valuable experience, and reserve the room for us. Mediterranean Shipping will continue to express a range of fuel solutions to achieve zero carbon future. "

Gianluigi Aponte, Chairman of Mediterranean Shipping, said this cooperation marks the major transformation of the Mediterranean Shipping Energy Strategy.

It is worth noting that the current CEO of the Mediterranean Shipping is considered to be a loyal advocator of LNG fuel, which seems to have a major factor in this agreement.

According to the list of EPS official website, there are 23 LNG power container ships in the EPS fleet, 12 have already determined that the rental gave the flyer ship, and 11 of the other ships will be leased by Mediterranean shipping, three of them delivered in 2022, 9 ships Delivered in 2023.

Unlike the Mediterranean Shipping, another pedal giant Dadi, has been clearly explicitly converting the LNG fuel as an important part of the energy transformation strategy.

According to incomplete statistics, currently, Davi has operated 14 LNG power container ships. By 2022, the LNG fleet scale will be expanded to 32 ships and cover a variety of sizes.

In the latest orders announced in April this year, 6 LNG power 15000TEU container ships and 6 LNG power 13000TEU container ships were contained.

Compared with traditional marine oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG) reduces emissions, and more and more liner operators will treat them as a transitional fuel to help the shipping industry to achieve international maritime organization (IMO) Decarbon It is the zero-greenhouse gas emissions from shipping until 2050.

Hapag-lloyd has recently joined the LNG ranks, ordered 6 23,000 Teu LNG dual fuel boats, which believe that liquefied natural gas is "currently the most environmentally friendly, easily available transport fuel".

Israeli Shipping Company Zim has also joined one of the support of LNG, recently reached a 10-year charter contract with non-operational container ships, leased 10 15,000 Teu LNG fuel boats and will be received in the first half of 2023.

Although the shipping giants, including the flying sea, it explicitly supports LNG fuel, but the conshancing industry is different from the LNG power.

The world's largest homage giant Maersk Shipping has clearly indicated that the LNG power as a transition fuel is not selected, and decided to stop buying a ship that is not zero-free.
