Ningbo deploys first purpose-built methanol bunker vessel
In China, China Marine Bunker and Hengxing Shipping Group have put China Fuel Green Energy 85, Ningbo’s newly built dedicated methanol bunkering vessel into service at Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, capable of all-weather ship-to-ship fueling.
The bunker vessel, which cost more than $14.8 million, is an IMO Type II chemical tanker with capacity for 10,850 cubic meters of methanol in corrosion-resistant duplex stainless-steel tanks. Ningbo authorities said the vessel’s key service is to ensure the replenishment demand of methanol powered ships in Ningbo Port.
