ECO UMANDE has made history by becoming the first container ship in the world to be retrofitted with a methanol dual-fuel propulsion system.
The 148 m long, 27.7 m wide ship with a depth of 14.3 m is not just built for the high seas but also for the future of our planet.
Boasting the innovative and efficient MAN Energy Solutions 5S50ME methanol-dual fuel engine, ECO UMANDE produces zero-carbon emissions when running on green methanol, paving the way for a cleaner and more sustainable maritime industry.
The ship also meets the EEDI Phase III and Tier III requirements, which means it is safe to operate and generates low emissions compared to its counterparts, showing high-performance shipping can go hand-in-hand with sustainable maritime operations.
New Dayang Shipbuilding constructed the 1,170 TEU feeder ship and delivered it to its owner, X-Press Feeders in March 2024.
