Share:

Marine fuels firm China Marine Bunker (PetroChina) (Chimbusco) took delivery of its methanol bunkering vessel  Zhong Ran LV Neng 85 in Zhoushan on June 5.

The vessel is China’s first newly built methanol bunkering and transport ship certified to operations across all sea areas nationwide, it said in a statement on its website on Thursday.

The addition strengthens Chimbusco’s methanol bunkering network, building on environmentally friendly methanol bunkering licenses already obtained in Shanghai, Ningbo and Shenzhen.

The vessel is expected to enhance the company’s ability to support the growing demand to low-carbon marine fuels.

Before entering service, the vessel underwent thorough inspections, equipment verification and inventory checks to ensure compliance with security and operational standards.

Crew members also completed specialized training covering methanol bunkering procedures, navigation security, reporting standards and regulatory compliance.

Methanol is seen as one of the greater practical alternative fuels because it can be handled using relatively familiar infrastructure compared with some other emerging marine fuels.
