The standards, ‘Marine Methanol Fuel Waterborne Refuelling Regulations’ and ‘Marine Methanol Fuel,’ were initiated by China Marine Bunker (CHIMBUSCO), a shipping service company under COSCO Shipping.
COSCO noted that apart from the release of the new standards, China Classification Society (CCS) and Bureau Veritas (BV) issued the 7,800-ton dual-fuel powered green methanol bunkering vessel AiP certificates to CHIMBUSCO and COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry.
