Another milestone has been reached in Neptune Lines’ Genesis Project, as the steel cutting for MW467-2, the second vessel in its next-generation fleet, took place on February 17, 2025, at Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding Ltd. in Fujian, China.
The event was attended by the company’s site team, marking the official start of construction for the second of four advanced vessels in this strategic fleet expansion.
As part of Neptune Lines’ commitment to sustainability and efficiency, these 4200 CEU dual-fuel PCTC vessels are designed to increase cargo capacity by 36% while significantly reducing emissions. Equipped with hybrid energy systems, they feature battery installations for peak power, dual-fuel capability (LNG/VLSFO), a high-pressure 2-stroke engine, and shore power connectivity to eliminate emissions at port.
The Genesis Project reflects Neptune Lines’ long-term strategy to modernize its fleet and maintain leadership in sustainable short-sea shipping. With both vessels scheduled for delivery in 2026, Neptune Lines continues to pave the way for a greener and more efficient future in maritime transport.
