X-Press Feeders to use Value Maritime’s carbon capture systems

Singapore-based X-Press Feeders has agreed to use Value Maritime’s carbon capture feature and clean-loop systems.

The systems will be equipped onboard two feeder boxships the 2007-built Atlantis A and the 2010-built X-Press Elbe.

The Rotterdam-based Value Maritime, which will also fit Eastern Pacific Shipping’s two MR tankers with onboard carbon capture tech, has won a contract for the two vessels from Eastaway, a member of the X-Press Feeders.

Both ships will be retrofitted in late summer this year and achieve a 20% emissions reduction while trading in North-West Europe.
