Dutch bunker barge operator UniBarge on Friday (7 March) said it has successfully completed a methanol bunkering operation at Waalhaven, Rotterdam.
Unibarge’s bunker vessel Chicago supplied green methanol to research vessel Fugro Pioneer.
“Just like the Chicago, the Fugro Pioneer recently underwent a methanol retrofit and is now equipped with methanol engines,” UniBarge said.
“By using green methanol, carbon emissions are reduced by more than 90% compared to conventional diesel.”
In February, UniBarge received a bunker license to supply methanol bunker fuel to the ports of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Antwerp (ARA) in Northwest Europe.
