China’s Cosco Shipping has taken delivery of a multi-purpose vessel suitable for conversion to methanol propulsion.
The 80,000 DWT vessel, Guo Liang Hai, has officially entered service, the firm said in a social media post today.
The vessel is designed to transport grain and is the sixth ship in its series.
“At nearly 230 metres in length, Guo Liang Hai is also equipped with a smart regulation system, low-carbon design features and a methanol-ready fuel interface, supporting future energy transition pathways,” the company said.
The vessel is already deployed on routes between South America and China.
Several shipowners have ordered methanol- or ammonia-ready vessels in recent years as they weigh up which alternative fuels are likely to gain wider adoption.
The approach allows owners to operate ships on conventional fuels initially while retaining the option of converting them to alternative-fuel propulsion at a later stage.
However, while a growing number of methanol-ready vessels have entered service, relatively few have subsequently undergone conversion to methanol propulsion.
