ISO 22120:2026 covers five key areas: transfer systems, operational procedures, risk assessment, safety protection and personnel training.
The specification provides requirements for the equipment and procedures involved in methanol bunkering operations, including measures intended to support safe fuel transfer and protect personnel.
The publication comes as methanol gains traction as a marine fuel, with the number of methanol-capable vessels and bunkering operations increasing.
