Hapag-Lloyd completes first biomethanol bunkering in South Korea

October 6, 2026 |

In South Korea, Hapag-Lloyd has successfully completed its first SIMOPS bunkering of ISCC EU-certified biomethanol supplied by Goldwind to the Seaspan Amazon in Busan, South Korea.

The operation marks an important step in bringing alternative marine fuels from production to practical use. Produced at Goldwind’s integrated facility in Hinggan League, China, the biomethanol was delivered through an international supply chain and bunkered while other vessel and port activities continued in parallel.

The milestone builds on the long-term fuel supply agreement signed in 2024, under which Goldwind is expected to supply 250,000 tons of a blend of bio- and e-methanol annually from the end of 2027. By securing an early biomethanol delivery, both companies are already gaining operational experience and advancing the logistics required for future large-scale supply.
