Second methanol-fuelled tanker to Proman Stena Bulk delivered

Proman Stena Bulk takes delivery of second methanol-fuelled tanker Stena Pro Marine.

Proman Stena Bulk is a joint venture (JV) between global methanol producer Proman and one of the world’s largest tanker shipping companies Stena Bulk.

Both 49,990 DWT IMOIIMeMAX dual-fuel mid-range (MR) tankers were built at GSI in China. Stena Pro Marine, like Stena Pro Patria, is expected to consume 12,500 tonnes of methanol per annum.

Stena Pro Marine delivery came following the delivery of Stena Pro Patria in June, which was the first methanol-powered newbuild vessel delivered by Guangzhou Shipyard International Co Ltd (GSI).

Four additional JV and Proman vessels are also due for delivery by 2024.
