This week, CMA CGM and SIPG Energy successfully completed the bunkering of 3,643 tons of bio-methanol for the CMA CGM Osmium at Yangshan Port in Shanghai. This operation marks CMA CGM’s first bio-methanol bunkering worldwide and sets a new national record for the largest single bio-methanol bunkering operation carried out at a Chinese port.
As part of its commitment to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2050, the CMA CGM Group is preparing to operate around 200 dual‑fuel container vessels by 2031, all capable of running on low‑carbon energy (bio and e-LNG as well as bio and e-methanol).
This month, China’s first methanol dual-fuel bunker vessel, Da Qing 268, completed Hong Kong’s maiden green methanol bunkering operation. The bunker was delivered to CM Hong Kong, the world’s first methanol dual-fuel ro-ro vessel. In addition to the 7,500 dwt Da Qing 268, Wah Kwong manages three other bunkering vessels, including Hai Gang Zhi Yuan, China’s first methanol bunkering vessel.
According to DNV’s white paper “Methanol fuel in shipping” released in December, there are over 450 methanol-capable vessels in operation and on order.
China currently accounts for 43% of planned global low-GHG methanol production capacity.
Methanol news is not all about China though.
