New state-of-the art vessel constructed by Meyer Turku shipyard for TUI Cruises is the first large cruise ship being built to be ready for methanol-fuelled operations.
Port of Antwerp-Bruges has presented a world premier: the Methatug. This tugboat, which runs on methanol, is part of a greening programme for the port's fleet and an important step in the transition to a climate-neutral port by 2050.
Technology group Wärtsilä will supply the methanol-fuelled auxiliary engines for five new container vessels for COSCO Shipping Lines Co., Ltd and seven new container vessels for Orient Overseas Container Line.
The dual-fuel engines will form part of a diesel-electric propulsion system on board the vessel with electrical motors driving twin fixed-pitch propellers via gearboxes
Bureau Veritas has granted an Approval in Principle (AiP) to Sasaki Shipbuilding Co., Ltd (Sasaki) for its Methanol dual fuel (DF) system applied in a 9,000 DWT General Cargo Ship.
Featuring Wärtsilä’s methanol engine technology, the collaboration introduces a cost-effective solution to reduce emissions from large vessels in situations where conventional shore power is limited or not available.
