Toyofuji Shipping and Fukuju Shipping have each commissioned a methanol-powered roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessel from Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, marking the first of their kind to be built in Japan. The new builds are scheduled for delivery by the end of fiscal 2027.These 169.9-meter-long dual-fuel vessels, designed to carry 2,300 cars each, will feature advanced windshields and are intended for domestic deployment. The financial details of the contracts have not been disclosed.Methanol is emerging as a significant player in the alternative fuel market for new ship constructions. According to the classification society DNV, the first five months of 2024 saw 70 new orders for methanol-fueled vessels, representing 55% of all new orders for ships powered by alternative fuels this year.
This surge highlights the maritime industry's shift towards more sustainable energy sources. The adoption of methanol is being driven by its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with stricter environmental regulations.The orders by Toyofuji and Fukuju Shipping reflect a broader industry trend towards greener shipping solutions, with methanol gaining traction as a viable alternative to traditional marine fuels. The successful implementation of these vessels could pave the way for more widespread adoption of methanol-powered ships in Japan and beyond.
