Owned by Seaspan Corporation, the world’s largest independent container shipowner, the work was carried out at COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. The ship has already entered service and is the first in a five-vessel retrofit program planned for the Hapag-Lloyd AG fleet. The retrofit represents the 30th such upgrade of an existing vessel executed by PrimeServ across LNG, methanol and LPG platforms, noted Michael Petersen, Senior Vice President and Head of PrimeServ Denmark, Everllence. “The Seaspan Yangtze project is a clear proof-point of our proven, scalable and mature platform for upgrading existing vessels to dual-fuel – delivered with speed and reliability. From a customer perspective, choosing to upgrade an existing vessel engine with Everllence is not a test case, but rather a demonstrated and de-risked approach built on strong OEM expertise and experience across the entire value chain.” With dual-fuel retrofits, customers can rely on proven upgrade solutions that guarantee fast execution, low off-hire of under three months, and protected operation earnings. Simultaneously, these enable fuel flexibility and improved emissions performance. Dr.-Ing. Christoph Thiem, Director Fleet Innovation & Projects at Hapag-Lloyd, said: “The Seaspan Yangtze retrofit shows that upgrading existing vessels to methanol dual-fuel operation is no longer a concept, but a proven and repeatable engineering solution. By combining OEM engine expertise, careful project preparation and close coordination with Seaspan, Everllence and the shipyard, we were able to deliver a technically complex conversion on time and support the vessel’s readiness for lower-carbon fuel operation.” Peter Jackson, Chief Technology Officer Seaspan, added: "Together, we are proving that retrofitting existing vessels for methanol can be a viable and scalable pathway to emissions reduction, helping to bridge the gap between today’s fleet and the fuels of the future."
