First e-methanol-powered SOV launched

The “world’s first” e-methanol-fueled service operation vessel (SOV) was launched at Cemre Shipyard in Türkiye. In April 2022, Esvagt and Ørsted decided to invest in what the companies described as the world’s first SOV that can operate on green fuels. A month later, Cemre Shipyard received an order to build the hybrid, methanol-fueled SOV. The

NGK, MHI to jointly develop membrane dehydration systems
