A Singapore shipping firm, X-Press Feeders, achieved a significant milestone by conducting the world's first simultaneous refuelling of a container ship with bio-methanol while loading cargo. This innovative approach allows for a quicker vessel turnaround time, enabling ships to sail at a slower pace, subsequently reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Green methanol, also known as bio-methanol, is a sustainable fuel composed of waste carbon dioxide and 'green hydrogen', generated by splitting water molecules using renewable energy sources. This green alternative offers a 65% reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional marine fuels, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore supported this initiative at Tuas Port, indicating a shift towards promoting sustainable practices within the maritime industry. X-Press Feeders plans to introduce 14 dual-fuel vessels that can operate on both conventional fuel and green methanol, emphasizing their commitment to eco-friendly shipping. This development aligns with global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with other companies like Maersk already venturing into bio-methanol-powered vessels. Singapore, with its prominent port operations and bunkering services, is poised to lead the way in green maritime technology, setting a positive example for the industry.
