European container carrier A2b-online has ordered two 650TEU methanol multi-fuelled vessels from German engineering company Technolog Services.

The containerships will burn multiple fuels, including methanol, alongside conventional marine fuels, and be fitted with battery and shore power capacity to operate in ports and inland waters.

The ships — which are being constructed at the Turkish Sedef shipyard — will have the "latest technologies to reduce CO2 emissions significantly by up to 95pc", according to A2B-online, but has not identified the systems.

Argus requested comment about the percentage of methanol used in the co-firing process, as well as methanol and conventional marine fuels consumption, but had not received a reply at time of publishing.

The ships are expected to be in service by the end of 2024, in between the Dutch port of Moerdijk and the UK port of Immingham.
