Producing green methanol requires green electricity. So it makes sense to produce it near the green electricity source. One novel solution does just that by producing green methanol on an offshore platform close to offshore wind electricity. Developed by China’s Kindon New Energy Technology (Jiangsu) Co. Ltd., the solution has now received an AiP (approval in principle) from classification society RINA. The solution comes from China’s Kindon New Energy Technology (Jiangsu) Co. Ltd.

In a move to cut vessel emissions in U.S. ports, Seattle, Wash., based naval architecture firm Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) has entered into a collaboration agreement with Wärtsilä that will see the two companies further develop EBDG’s Clean Harbor Alternative Mobile Power (CHAMP) barge design.
CHAMP will provide a power range from 6 to 16 MW, using green methanol as its source, for two weeks or longer before refueling becomes necessary.
It will address the need to reduce port emissions by...

Set to enter service next month, the world’s first large methanol-enabled container vessel has been named Ane Mærsk in a ceremony held at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries’ Ulsan, South Korea, shipyard. The 350-meter, 16,592 TEU vessel is named after Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla, the chair of the A.P. Moller Foundation and A.P. Moller Holding. Her eldest granddaughter served as godmother and christened the vessel by breaking a champagne bottle over the bow.
Ane Mærsk is the first of Maersk’s 18 large...

The 31,000 cubic meter capacity “mega hopper” trailing suction hopper dredge (TSHD) ordered at Royal IHC by Royal Boskalis last year will be powered by three MAN 49/60 engines. This is the first marine application of MAN Energy Solutions’ most powerful diesel engine.
The MAN 49/60 successfully passed its type approval test in March 2023 and features a high power-per-cylinder of 1,300 kW, reducing the number of installed cylinders necessary to meet customer power demands. While in this particular...
Turku, Finland, headquartered Deltamarin has been selected to design the three wind assisted RO/RO vessels that France’s Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA) will operate under a charter from Airbus. The aircraft manufacturer is looking to cut the carbon emissions of its fleet of vessels used to transport aircraft subassemblies between Saint-Nazaire, France, and its single-aisle aircraft final assembly line in Mobile, Ala., and the new Airbus ships promise big carbon savings.

A.P. Moller-Maersk (Maersk) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the City of Yokohama and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical (MGC). The collaborative agreement will focus on the development of a Yokohama green methanol bunkering infrastructure as Maersk’s 16,000 TEU green methanol-fueled container vessels start deliveries from 2024.
Maersk aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040 throughout its entire business. This will see it powering its 25 container vessels with dual-fuel engines...

With the ordering of methanol-fueled vessels picking up pace, Wärtsilä is to introduce another four methanol engines to its portfolio. In addition to the Wärtsilä 32 methanol engine launched last year, Wärtsilä will add the Wärtsilä 20, Wärtsilä 31, Wärtsilä 46F and Wärtsilä 46TS to its portfolio of engines capable of operating with methanol fuel.
Methanol — and specifically green methanol — has become one of the primary alternative fuel choices for the shipping industry to achieve net zero...
