The 1,250-TEU vessel, DP World London, is equipped with a methanol dual-fuel main engine, allowing it to operate on both methanol and conventional marine fuels.

The remaining three sister vessels are scheduled for delivery in the coming months. All four ships will be chartered by Unifeeder, part of Emirati logistics company DP World, and deployed across Northern Europe.
