It is hoped that the move will also promote the growth of Korea\u2019s sustainable marine fueling industry into the future given that competition among global ports for the methanol fuel market is intensifying.<\/p>\n
\u201cFollowing the success of the world\u2019s first green methanol PTS bunkering for container ships in July last year, Ulsan Port has succeeded in green methanol STS bunkering for a very large container ship,\u201d said Kim Jae-gyun, the president of Ulsan Port Authority.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will do our best to proactively respond to the paradigm shift in ship fuel so that Ulsan Port can be reborn as a hub port for sustainable marine fuel supply.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bunkering hub<\/strong><\/p>\n The bunkering operation involved the Ane Maersk, owned by A.P. Moller-Maersk A\/S, which received green methanol from the bunkership, Golden Sunny Hana, Hana Marine), whilst at anchorage in trhe port.<\/p>\n South Korea\u2019s Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries established its \u2018Guidelines for Approval of Self-Safety Management Plan for Methanol Supply\u2019 and accumulated know-how through two methanol supply demonstrations with Ulsan Port Authority in July and November last year.<\/p>\n The partnership said intends to continue to upgrade related systems, such as establishing standard operating procedures for the supply of methanol. It will also continue to work with the private sector to secure the economics of sustainable marine fuel supply.<\/p>\n \u201cCompetition among international ports to preempt the market by building ports that supply sustainable marine fuel is accelerating,\u201d said Kang Do-Hyung, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries.<\/p>\n \u201cUnder the goal of achieving net-zero by 2050 in the global shipping sector, we will make all-out efforts to strengthen competitiveness so that Korea can lead the global trend of switching to sustainable fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ulsan Port in South Korea has hosted its first green methanol ship-to-ship bunkering operation helping\u00a0consolidate its position as a sustainable marine fueling location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4049,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,42],"tags":[40,264,879,1010,1409],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-asia-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-bunkering","tag-green-methanol","tag-south-korea","tag-ulsan-port"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4048"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4048\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4050,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4048\/revisions\/4050"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4048"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
