Hong Kong pioneers world’s first methanol bunkering operation

The vessel received approximately 500 tonnes of green methanol.

The world’s first methanol dual-fuel roll-on and roll-off vessel, CM HONG KONG, completed its first green methanol bunkering operation in Hong Kong.

The vessel completed bunkering via a ship-to-ship (STS) transfer, receiving approximately 500 tonnes of green methanol.

It is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 85% compared with conventional marine fuels.

This also marks China's first green methanol bunkering operation conducted at anchor.

The bunkering ceremony was jointly hosted by China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES), Sinopec (Hong Kong), and CIMC Enric at the Legislative Council Complex.
