Recently, COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry Technology (Weihai) (CHIT) signed a contract with COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Shanghai) for the methanol fuel supply system of two 20,000 TEU and two existing 13,800 TEU container ships for the dual-fuel conversion project after its signing with COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry (Yangzhou) for 5 sets of methanol fuel supply systems for the new shipbuilding project in June.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first EPC contract for methanol supply system for a dual-fuel conversion project of an operating ship undertaken by CHIT.
It is reported that the large methanol dual-fuel container ship, as a high value-added ship type, effectively fills the domestic methanol fuel powered ship industry specification standards.
The project provides a fundamental strategic leading role in helping China’s green zero-carbon equipment industry’s independent research and development, and realizing the fusion integration and demonstration application of green zero-carbon technology on ships.
