Advancing Dual-Fuel Shipbuilding with Certified Methanol Valves

  • Methanol is integral to the green transition in maritime industries, along with advanced vent and valve systems for methanol tanks.
  •  Recently, a series of high-velocity methanol valves produced in Denmark received certification for the first time. 
  • This certification provides shipbuilders with greater flexibility in constructing dual-fuel systems with extended vent pipes.
Importance of Valve Systems

Valve systems are crucial for managing pressure and vacuum in methanol tanks, ensuring fire...

Stena RoRo orders E-Flexer for Corsica Linea

Corsica Linea E-Flexer

Stena RoRo has ordered what will be the first of its E-Flexer RoPax vessels to operate in the Mediterranean region. Set for delivery from Chinese shipbuilder CMI Jinling (Weihai) in the first quarter of 2026, it will operate for Corsica Linea between Marseille and Corsica.

The 203 meters long by 27.8 meters beam E-Flexer series are larger than today’s standard RoPax ferries. Each ship is tailored to the customers’ needs, both commercially and technically. This latest vessel, for Corsica Linea,...
