Stena Prosperous
Proman Stena Bulk Ltd– a joint endeavor in between Stena Bulk and also Wollerau, Switzerland, based Proman Shipping– has actually settled a contract to construct an added methanol-fueled vessel
To be called Stena Prosperous, it will originally be used by Stena Bulk in its traded swimming pool of ships for a duration of a couple of years. The vessel will certainly therefore be the initial methanol dual-fuel powered ship traded on the chemicals/ CPP market by a traditional shipowner without an energetic agreement from a methanol manufacturer. After this preliminary duration, the Stena Prosperous will certainly after that participate in a long-lasting time charter with Proman Shipping, which is a subsidiary of Proman, the globe’s second biggest manufacturer of methanol.

The vessels will certainly have the most recent generation MALE dual-fuel engines, function cutting edge brand-new water and also gas solution innovation, which considerably lowers NOx exhausts without the demand for pricey catalytic conversion innovation. The vessels will certainly likewise be furnished with the most recent power performance innovation, consisting of consistently regulated burning, enhanced adjusting, upgraded and also wind resistant hull lines, and also a shaft generator, additional lowering gas intake and also assisting to fulfill rigorous exhausts standards.
Methanol is currently offered at over 100 ports worldwide, consisting of in any way significant bunkering centers.
