On September 22nd, the world's first 9,300 CEU methanol dual-fuel-powered ro-RO ship, "Gangrong", made its maiden voyage to Tianjin Port. On the same day, it achieved the first green methanol refueling on a Ro-ro ship in China. This is a vivid portrayal of the deepening strategic cooperation between Tianjin Port Group and China Merchants Shipping Company and their joint efforts to implement the "dual carbon" strategy. This marks a crucial step for Chinese ports to take the lead in participating in the global low-carbon transformation.
On that day, the world's first 9,300 CEU methanol dual-fuel-powered roll-on/roll-off ship made its maiden voyage to Tianjin Port and the first green methanol bunkering ceremony for a roll-on/roll-off ship in China were held at Tianjin Port. Jiao Guangjun, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and president of Tianjin Port Group, and Wang Yongxin, general manager of China Merchants Shipping Company, attended and delivered speeches. Liu Qingshun, vice president of Tianjin Port Group, presided over the ceremony.
On that day, with the strong support of relevant departments of the Tianjin Municipal Government and port units, the "Gangrong" successfully carried out the first green methanol bunkering operation on a roll-on/roll-off ship in the country at Tianjin Port. A total of about 300 tons of green methanol were bunkering, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 460 tons. This marks that Tianjin Port has established a complete methanol bunkering system. At present, the global port and shipping industry is actively exploring the accelerated application path of clean fuels. Methanol, as an alternative fuel for the low-carbon transformation of international navigation vessels, has become a new choice for the industry. This time, Tianjin Port has achieved the first green methanol bunkering on a roll-on/roll-off vessel in China, providing a "Tianjin solution" for the low-carbon transformation of global shipping.
