HMD states that the ships will successfully fulfill the needs of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) “phase 3” (from January 1, 2025 forward), an essential part of IMO’s strategies to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) exhausts.
“The recent order from Evergreen, which is the first contract for containerships we have signed directly with a Taiwanese shipping company, is highly meaningful in that we were recognized for our technological competitiveness in eco-friendly ships,” stated a resource at HMD. “Going forward, we will further diversify the line-up of our products with a focus on securing orders for medium-sized container ships at a time when global container shipping companies are investing in more advanced vessels to meet future demand.”
