Image Credit: Hapag-Lloyd Container shipping firm Hapag-Lloyd has completed its first simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) bunkering of ISCC EU -certified biomethanol in Busan , South Korea . The biomethanol was supplied by Goldwind to the methanol-fuelled container ship Seaspan Amazon while other vessel and port activities continued in parallel, the firm said in a LinkedIn post yesterday. The 10,100 TEU Seaspan Amazon has been retrofitted from a conventional-fuelled engine to a dual-fuel engine capable of running on methanol in a joint program with maritime asset owner and manager Seaspan Corporation . The fuel was produced at Goldwind’s integrated facility in Hinggan League , China , before being moved through an international supply chain to South Korea. The operation builds on a 2024 fuel supply agreement under which Goldwind is expected to supply Hapag-Lloyd with 250,000 mt/year of methanol. Hapag-Lloyd said the early biomethanol delivery will provide operational experience as it prepares more vessels capable of operating on methanol.
