With this success, Ulsan Port has expanded its bunkering track record from container ships to bulk carriers.<\/p>\n<p>The operation this time was conducted for &#8220;Green Future&#8221;, a methanol dual-fuel bulk carrier chartered by NYK Bulk &amp; Projects Carriers Ltd., an NYK Group company, from Kambara Kisen Co., Ltd. The fuel, green methanol produced by OCI Global, was supplied by ITOCHU Corporation through storage at the OTK Terminal, and transferred via ship-to-ship (STS) bunkering.<\/p>\n<p>The bunkering was conducted safely and efficiently by utilizing the infrastructure at Ulsan New Port\u2019s Southern Breakwater T\/S Pier, marking Korea\u2019s first green methanol STS bunkering for a dry bulk carrier.<\/p>\n<p>UPA President Jae-young Byeon said, \u201cThis bunkering operation is a milestone that demonstrates Ulsan Port\u2019s capability to deliver commercial-scale green methanol bunkering.\u201d He added, \u201cBuilding on this achievement, we are committed to spearheading sustainable marine fuel bunkering as a trusted global hub.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About Ulsan Port Authority<\/p>\n<p>Ulsan Port Authority manages and operates South Korea&#8217;s largest industrial port complex, handling over 202 million tons of cargo annually. As the country&#8217;s energy hub, Ulsan Port specializes in petrochemical products, automobiles, and is developing advanced capabilities for next-generation maritime fuels. \u00a0UPA is committed to sustainable port operations and leading the transition to environmentally friendly shipping solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ulsan Port Authority (UPA) announced that it successfully completed Korea\u2019s first methanol bunkering for a  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":264874,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[273,298],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-264873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-maritimes-news","category-seagoing-maritimes-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
