The agreement, signed with a European partner, will see COSCO Shipping take delivery of green methanol produced from renewable sources. The company plans to use the fuel in its existing dual-fuel vessels.

The move comes as the shipping industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Green methanol is seen as a promising alternative fuel due to its lower emissions compared to traditional marine fuels.

COSCO Shipping is also exploring other decarbonisation strategies, including the use of wind-assisted propulsion and the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology.
