HMM takes delivery of its first methanol-powered containership

HMM takes delivery of ‘HMM GREEN’, a 9,000 TEU methanol-powered containership. This vessel is the first of nine sister ships ordered in February 2023 from HD Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (seven vessels) and HJ Shipbuilding & Construction (two vessels).

Starting with this delivery, HMM will gradually receive the remaining eight vessels by next year as part of its fleet expansion plan.

HMM GREEN will bunker bio-methanol at the Port of Shanghai. Bio-methanol, a renewable fuel derived from waste resources, can reduce carbon emissions by up to 65%, eliminate sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions, and cut nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional bunker fuel.
