The bunkering operation saw Ulsan Port Authority (UPA) successfully supply green methanol to the Green Future<\/em>, a dual-fuel bulk carrier chartered by NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers Ltd, part of the NYK Group.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bunkering operation is a milestone that demonstrates Ulsan Port\u2019s capability to deliver commercial-scale green methanol bunkering,\u201d said UPA President, Jae-young Byeon.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on this achievement, we are committed to spearheading sustainable marine fuel bunkering as a trusted global hub.\u201d<\/p>\n

Growing expertise<\/strong><\/p>\n

The alternative fuel, produced by OCI Global, was delivered through ITOCHU Corporation\u2019s storage at the OTK Terminal and transferred via port bunkering operations at Ulsan New Port\u2019s Southern Breakwater T\/S Pier.<\/p>\n

This operation builds on Ulsan Port\u2019s track record of world-first methanol bunkering demonstrations for container ships<\/a> between 2023 and 2024, highlighting its growing expertise in handling hazardous materials safely while expanding into bulk carrier fueling.<\/p>\n

By diversifying beyond traditional fuels, the port strengthens its global competitiveness in alternative fuels and green energy shipping solutions.<\/p>\n

In the spring, GP reported that Ulsan Port Authority (UPA) is working to transition from an oil logistics centre to a clean energy hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just methanol that the port is building a market for.<\/p>\n

In early summer, the port made clear that it was also persuing the biofuels market<\/a> in an effort to position the port as northeast Asia\u2019s premier biofuel hub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
