First Hapag-Lloyd Dual-Fuel Retrofit Completed by Everllence as Green Retrofitting Race Intensifies

Summary

Everllence completed the first of five Hapag-Lloyd dual-fuel vessel retrofits on June 24, converting a 15,000 TEU container ship to run on LNG and conventional fuel. The retrofit is part of Hapag-Lloyd’s fleet decarbonization strategy, targeting a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions per TEU by 2030. With newbuild slots scarce and delivery times stretching into 2029, the green retrofitting market is expanding rapidly as carriers seek faster compliance with IMO CII and EU ETS regulations.
