The first large dual-fuel container ship in China successfully refueled with methanol fuel.

On December 26, 2024, CHIMBUSCO Jiangsu successfully provided 150 tons of methanol fuel to the first 16,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship built by COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry in Yangzhou.

The successful refueling not only demonstrates the maturity of COSCO SHIPPING’s technology in the methanol fuel supply system but also provides strong support for the green transformation of China’s shipping industry.

To ensure the smooth execution of this refueling operation, CHIMBUSCO Jiangsu and COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry Yangzhou collaborated closely. They organized the preparation of the first “methanol refueling design plan for terminal tank trucks” for large container ships in China and obtained the principle approval certificate issued by China Classification Society.
