VESSEL REVIEW | NCL Vestland – Methanol-fuelled containership for Norwegian coastal feeder routes
China’s Taizhou Sanfu Shipbuilding has delivered a new feeder container vessel to Norwegian operator MPC Container Ships (MPCC).
NCL Vestland is the first unit in a series of two containerships ordered by MPCC. The vessels are notable for being fitted with dual-fuel engines that can run on MGO or green methanol as a low-emission alternative.
NCL Vestland will be operated under a 15-year charter with Norwegian transport company North Sea Container Line (NCL). NCL Nordland, the second vessel in the series, is scheduled to be handed over to MPCC later in the first half of 2025. Both will sail under the Portuguese flag.
