Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd. secured a contract to build 6 9,000TEU methanol dual-fuel containerships from A.P. Moller ­Maersk. This was the Group's first order win for methanol dual-fuel containerships. The continued order win for green vessels is a testament to Yangzijiang's technological capabilities and engineering know-how in delivering alternative fuel solutions to the industry.

The six vessels secured will be fully constructed in-house and due for delivery between 2026 and 2027. According to the International Maritime Organisation, green methanol is reported to be able to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) by approximately 45% and sulphur oxide (SOx) by approximately 8% compared to conventional fuels per unit energy.
