X-Press Feeders’ 14 methanol-fuelled newbuildings will serve European routes, the world’s largest feeder operator said yesterday.

At the Marine Fuels 360 Conference in Singapore yesterday, X-Press head of sustainability Alex Hartnoll, said the operator had chosen methanol as its decarbonisation solution due to the small size of its ships.

He said: “We felt it’s the fuel type that really made the most sense for our operations, because of the nature of our trade and our cargo.
