NCL Nordland, the second of two 1,300 TEU dual fuel container vessels owned by MPC Container Shipshas entered service just weeks after sistership Vestland. Both feature a Berg propulsion package and can be operated on methanol and/or MGO, and are on a 15-year charter to North Sea Container Line in services connecting Norway and Rotterdam.
Experience with the Vestland has verified that the vessels’ Berg Propulsion package optimizes efficiency regardless of energy source.
“Nordland and Vestland establish MPCC as an early mover in competitive green fuel strategies to deliver long-term shareholder value for shipping’s low carbon future,” said Constantin Baack, CEO of MPCC. “The project also shows how we meet ambitious goals by working with like-minded partners.”
