China (Zhejiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone on Monday (24 August) said Ningbo-Zhoushan Port has completed Zhejiang province’s largest single-ship green methanol bunkering operation.
Methanol dual-fuel containership COSCO SHIPPING Libra received around 5,500 metric tonnes (mt) of green methanol at the Meishan port area on 23 August.
The operation was carried out under the supervision of Meishan Customs, part of Ningbo Customs, and was conducted by the methanol bunkering vessel Zhong Ran Lv Neng 85.
The operation set a new record for the volume of green methanol bunkered by a single international trading vessel in Zhejiang.
The milestone comes as Ningbo-Zhoushan Port seeks to expand its large-scale green methanol bunkering capabilities.
Zhong Ran Lv Neng 85 entered commercial operation at Ningbo-Zhoushan Port in July, becoming the port’s first newly built dedicated methanol bunker vessel.
According to the authorities, the customs department used its digital supervision system to enable paperless declaration and review of vessel movements and fuel supply information, while optimising on-site supervision arrangements.
