The bulk carrier Golden Leo has sunk near the Ukrainian port of Odesa, one week after sustaining severe damage in a Russian strike while transporting grain through a designated maritime corridor.
The vessels will operate in the Mediterranean under the Grimaldi Lines and Minoan Lines brands and will be equipped with engines capable of running on methanol
ClassNK has issued an approval in principle (AiP) for a methanol fuel tank design concept developed by SRC Group. The certification demonstrates its feasibility from regulatory and safety perspectives.
The operation took place at CHI Shanghai's shipyard terminal, where the COSCO Shipping Libra safely bunkered 2,100 tons of methanol fuel within 10 hours.
Technology to measure water in fuel will contribute to minimising costs associated with using methanol, reducing the barriers to shipping's energy transition.
