First Methanol-Powered Tankers Pass Operating Milestone
The world’s first methanol-powered tankers have passed each passed the 10,000 operating hours running on the clean-burning alternative fuel. The two ships, the Mari Jone and Mari Boyle, are two of the first newly-constructed vessels powered by dual-fuel ME-LGI engines operating on methanol. The...
Marinvest’s methanol-fueled tankers achieve operating milestone
Marinvest, the Swedish ship-management company, announced that its ‘Mari Jone’ and ‘Mari Boyle’, two of the first vessels fueled by dual-fuel ME-LGI (Liquid Gas Injection Methanol) engines operating on methanol, have each passed 10,000 operating hours on the alternative fuel.
Additionally, its combined ME-LGI-powered fleet has passed a total of 50,000 operating hours on methanol.

DNV GL launches revised shipping alternative fuels and technologies report
DNV GL published the revised ‘Assessment of selected alternative fuels and technologies in shipping’, to provide decision support for investments in ships, for the following five to ten-year period.
The published paper provides an insight to technical parameters and limitations, subtracting accounting for local market conditions, considerations and incentive schemes which may have a significant impact on competitiveness and the uptake of alternative fuels and technologies.
Except the 2020 Sulphur...

Floating power plants could recycle CO2 from the sea
Floating solar, methanol islands on the ocean could be able to produce enough energy to allow CO2-neutral global freight traffic, according to a group of researchers from ETH Zurich, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Empa, the Universities of Zurich and Bern and the Nowegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim.
The researchers showed that solar methanol islands could produce enough fuel in the long term to make all CO2 emitted from transportation sources neutral. In the...

Green Maritime Methanol Project Starts with Nine Ships
The consortium selected nine ships for research on the application of renewable methanol as a marine fuel.
Green Maritime Methanol consortium selects nine vessels to run on renewable methanol
The Green Maritime Methanol consortium has chosen nine vessels for research on the application of renewable methanol as a marine fuel. Namely, new designs, newbuildings, along with existing ships of Boskalis, Van Oord, the Royal Netherlands Navy and Wagenborg Shipping were selected.
The ships sizes are various in length, ranging between 40-160m, with tonnage varying from 300-23,000 dwt and in installed power from 1-12 MW. Research for these ships will begin with determination of the cost for...
