In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that independent common carrier X-Press Feeders has started Europe’s first scheduled feeder network serviced by green methanol-powered vessels.
The launch of Europe’s first green methanol-fueled network took place on July 9 and it starts with Rotterdam and Antwerp Bruges to Finland and the Baltics, according to the report.
It will enable companies in Europe to now have a regularly scheduled network that can ship goods in a way that has less impact on the environment, and helping them to better achieve their sustainability goals, said X-Press Feeders Chief Operating Officer, Francis Goh.
According to Goh, X-Press Feeders chose northern Europe for the first routes in the network because it found that customers in this part of Europe were most receptive to the comapny’s plans for sustainable shipping, the report added.
