Singapore’s X-Press Feeders has approached China’s Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard to build six new 2,700-teu feeder vessels.

Each of the environmentally-friendly feeders, to be classed by DNV GL, will be capable of carrying 600 refrigerated containers.

China State Shipbuilding Corporation’s (CSSC) 708th research institute Maric will design the vessels with a focus on energy efficiency and environmental friendliness.

The hull of the vessels will be optimised to reduce bunker fuel consumption and the vessels will also satisfy the EEDI phase 3 requirements needed from 2025.
