Under the deal, SIPG will be responsible for the sourcing, supply and bunkering of green methanol to Evergreen\u2019s 24 dual-fuel methanol vessels which the company is expecting in 2026 and 2027.<\/p>\n
Construction of the necessary infrastructure will be shared by Samsung Heavy Industries and Nihon Shipyard, a joint venture between Japan Marine United Corporation and Imabari Shipbuilding.<\/p>\n
Shanghai Port and Evergreen Shipping are already jointly operating an empty container centre at the port which Chair of SIPG, Gu Jinshan, says has been well-received. The port has also recently opened Luojing Automated Container Terminal which, together with the future full operation of the north side of Xiaoyangshan, will boost throughput at the port significantly.<\/p>\n
The signing of the green methanol deal is being hailed as a milestone in the cooperation between the two parties and key to SIPG\u2019s efforts to build a green methanol industry chain and further the marine energy transformation.<\/p>\n
In March last year, SIPG and Danish container shipping giant Maersk signed a memorandum of cooperation on the Shanghai Port methanol marine fuel project whilst SIPG, French shipping giant CMA CGM and its Chinese counterpart COSCO Shipping inked a similar deal in April 2023.<\/p>\n
