Singapore’s maritime industry is abuzz with anticipation as it prepares to carry out its first methanol bunkering operation this week.
The operation will take place between the A.P. Moller – Maersk’s methanol-fuelled container vessel which is on its maiden voyage and Hong Lam Marine Pte Ltd’s Singapore-registered tanker, MT Agility.
The feeder received its first fuel last week in Port of Ulsan, South Korea, before it set sail for Copenhagen, where it will be christened in September.
The bunkering operation took place on Sunday, July 16, when OCI fueled Maersk’s first green methanol-powered container ship with 1,000 metric tonnes of OCI HyFuels ISCC-certified green methanol at Odfjell Terminal Korea (OTK). The name of the vessel is expected to be Maersk Solstice.
