French shipping company EuroGreen Maritime has landed a seven-year charter deal for four MR product tankers newbuilds with Norwegian energy major Equinor.
The vessels, worth more than $250m in total are scheduled for delivery from Wuhu Shipyard in China starting in the first half of 2026 through 2027. They will serve Equinor’s products trade and be managed by V.Ships France.
The newbuilds will feature a methanol dual-fuel engine with a shaft generator complemented by a battery-hybrid power generation system as well as a pair of Ocean Wings wingsails developed by the French company AYRO. They should, according to the Nantes-based firm, deliver greenhouse gas, SOx, and NOx emissions reduction of more than 45%, 95%, and 50%, respectively, with no particles compared to conventional MR designs exceeding IMO 2030 targets.
