China Shipping & Sinopec Suppliers Co Ltd (SinoBunker) on Thursday (3 July) said it successfully completed the bunkering operation of dual-fuel container ship COSCO Shipping Yangpu after delivering 200 metric tonnes (mt) of domestic green methanol.
The operation took place at Yangpu Port, Hainan on 2 July. Cosco Shipping previously deemed the vessel China’s first 16,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship.
“This not only marks the official launch of China’s first green methanol fuel application project across the entire industry chain, but also opens a new chapter in the company’s strategy of driving the low-carbon transformation of new marine energy with innovation,” Sinobunker said.
As the first pilot in China to demonstrate the feasibility of an end-to-end supply chain of production, sales and use of green methanol produced from urban domestic waste, the company said the entire process from collecting biomass raw material to terminal filling was carried out on Hainan Island.
Qin Ling, Director, General Manager and Party Committee Secretary, said: “Sinobunker will take this bunkering operation as a new starting point to deepen the green development strategy, promote the integration of clean energy and the shipping industry to be in better position to serve the national strategy, empower the industry transformation with better services, and assist the global shipping low-carbon process with more practical measures.”
