Port of Amsterdam conducts first methanol bunkering
The Port of Amsterdam has announced that last week it conducted its first ship-to-ship methanol bunkering.
As announced, at the TMA Logistics terminal in the Amerikahaven, the offshore installation vessel Boreas from Van Oord was supplied with a total of 500 tonnes of ISCC-certified green methanol via the bunker vessel Chicago from Unibarge.
Green methanol is produced using sustainable feedstocks (such as waste and residual streams), resulting in significantly lower emissions of CO2, particulate matter and nitrogen.
The Boreas is the first ship of its kind that can operate on methanol, reducing its ecological footprint. Advanced emission control technologies minimize NOₓ emissions, while a 6,000 kWh battery pack further reduces fuel consumption and emissions.
As stated, alternative fuel bunkering is becoming more common in the Port of Amsterdam, with LNG bunkering now being the standard and hydrogen also being recently bunkered.
