CSL Partnership Orders Two Methanol-Fuelled Vessels
A partnership between CSL and OWL has ordered two new subsea rock installation vessels capable of running on methanol.
The dual-fuelled 17,500 m3 ships are due for delivery in August and November 2026, the CSL Group said in a LinkedIn post on Thursday.
"We're excited to share that CSL OWL SRI, a new partnership between CSL and OWL, is building two subsea rock installation (SRI) vessels tailored for the offshore wind sector," the company said.
"Purpose-built for optimal flexibility, these vessels will deliver efficient and cost-effective SRI services in water depths up to 100 metres."
Demand for methanol as a bunker fuel is set to rise rapidly in the coming years with orders of methanol-fuelled tonnage from a variety of shipping segments gradually being delivered.
