COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Technology (Weihai) recently signed an order with COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Yangzhou) for methanol fuel supply systems for four 16,000-TEU container ships, reports Bunkerspot.

About the order

According to COSCO Shipping, the order represents the first large project of methanol fuel supply for both the main and auxiliary engines of ships in China.

‘The methanol fuel supply system, also called ‘Marine Shield’ (Haidun), adopts dual-core redundancy + PID closed-loop control to maintain the stability and reliability of the equipment. The double filter design also ensures the engine fuel supply’s reliability,’ said COSCO Shipping.

‘In line with the characteristics of 16,000-TEU large container ships, COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Technology (Weihai) tailored this technical solution featuring decentralised module control and operation parameter integration monitoring to further improve the safety and reliability of methanol refuelling, lightering and supply, which gained the recognition of ship owners.’
