Maersk makes further step to support methanol bunkering standards in Japan

In a significant step towards supporting the development of methanol bunkering in Japan, A.P. Moller-Maersk co-hosted Japan’s first ‘methanol bunkering simulation’ at the Port of Yokohama.

The Alette Maersk, Maersk’s fifth duel-fuel methanol vessel, participated in the methanol bunkering simulation conducted by Kokuka Sangyo’s methonal tanker, Eikamaru.

To lay the future for future methanol bunkering, the involved parties collaborated to test key operations, including berthing, unberthing, and hose connections.
