China Marine Bunker (PetroChina) (Chimbusco) and Shenergy Group on Tuesday (23 June) signed a procurement agreement on green methanol for the shipping sector.
Chimbusco said the company secured 6,000 metric tonnes (mt) of green methanol — setting a new record for the largest single batch of green methanol procurement in China.
The two companies held a delivery ceremony on 24 June at Shanghai Jinshan Vopak Terminal.
The record-setting procurement by Chimbusco is expected to support the development of Shanghai’s international shipping green fuel bunkering and trading hubs.
Recently, Chimbusco has been accelerating the deployment of methanol bunkering operations, launching methanol bunker delivery demonstration projects in multiple ports including Shanghai Yangshan, Dalian, Ningbo, Zhoushan, Qingdao, and Shenzhen.
On 5 June, Chimbusco’s newly built duplex stainless steel bunkering vessel for methanol, ZHONG RAN LV NENG 85, was delivered.
The chemical tanker is capable of operating at different ports of China.
Chimbusco has secured methanol bunkering licences for both Shanghai and Ningbo ports, strengthening its ability to handle large-volume and multi-regional methanol bunker fuel deliveries while meeting shipowners’ growing demand for green methanol bunkering solutions.
