The fuel was delivered to Golden Island’s bunker vessel, Golden Antares, for a methanol bunkering trial in Singapore.  

The companies have not disclosed which vessel received the fuel. 

Towngas produces around 6,000 mt/year of biomethanol at its Inner Mongolia plant using biomass. The fuel can reduce a vessel’s carbon intensity by over 75% compared to VLSFO, Towngas claims.
