First large methanol-powered vessel completes inaugural bunkering operation at Port of Antwerp-Bruges

The Ane Maersk, the world’s first large methanol-powered deep-sea vessel, called at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges on April 1, 2024, and completed its first bunker operation in European waters, bunkering 4,300 tonnes of green methanol and 1,375 tonnes of biodiesel. 

The bunkering took place at the port’s MSC PSA European Terminal (MPET) and was accomplished safely during terminal operations. 

TankMatch dispatched two barges to transfer 4,300 tonnes of green methanol onto the Ane Maersk and a barge from VT Group delivered 1,375 tonnes of biodiesel.
