China’s Xiamen Port has completed Fujian province’s first ship-to-ship green methanol bunkering operation.
The operation took place on November 4, with a bunkering vessel supplying about 1,000 mt of green methanol to container ship OOCL Wisdom, the port said in an announcement last week.
The 24,168 TEU ship is the first methanol-capable container ship of Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) and was named earlier this year.
It is the first of a series of seven dual-fuel methanol ships ordered by the firm.
Xiamen is among a limited number of Chinese ports capable of providing green methanol bunkering. The port has also previously conducted LNG and biofuel bunkering.
Earlier this year, Xiamen released a dedicated safety framework for methanol bunkering at the port.
