Shipping joint venture Proman Stena Bulk has taken delivery of the first of six 49,900 dwt methanol-powered dual-fuel medium-range tankers.
The methanol-powered ship is the first of six IMOIIMeMAX dual-fuel MR tankers being built at Guangzhou Shipyard International Co Ltd (GSI) in China for Proman Stena Bulk and Proman.
Stena Pro Patria will leave GSI Shipyard to load methanol fuel in Ulsan, South Korea and will arrive in Trinidad and Tobago for its naming ceremony later this year.
Stena Pro Patria is preparing for commercial operation with Swedish shipping company Stena Bulk.
The vessel will run on methanol, representing Proman Stena Bulk’s commitment to methanol’s role as part of the shipping industry’s sustainable fuels pathway.
With an expected consumption of 12,500 tonnes of methanol marine fuel per annum, Stena Pro Patria will be a low-emission vessel, eliminating local pollutants including SOx and Particulate Matter (PM), cutting NOx emissions by 60% and reducing CO2 emissions versus conventional marine fuels.
