Xiamen Port completes Fujian’s first green methanol ship-to-ship bunkering
In China, on Nov. 4 Orient Overseas Container Line’s 24,168-TEU OOCL Wisdom received approximately 1,005 metric tons of green methanol from Chimbusco’s bunkering vessel Zhongran Luneng 85 at Xiamen Port, marking Fujian province’s first ship-to-ship green methanol bunkering operation, Southeast Net reported.
The operation took place at Xiamen Yuanhai Container Terminal, where the nearly 400 meter container ship simultaneously handled cargo before departing for European ports.
Wu Longle, deputy director of the Xiamen Maritime Safety Administration, said maritime authorities coordinated vessel schedules, cargo handling and fuel delivery to “ensure port operations and bunkering did not interfere with each other and proceeded in an orderly manner.”
The operation adds green methanol to Xiamen Port’s existing biofuel oil and LNG bunkering services.
