Methanol deal
SRC Group and Green Marine have signed a collaborative agreement which brings two of the strongest advocates of methanol as a marine fuel together to develop and deliver methanol superstorage to market. The cooperation aims to realise benefits available to SRC's methanol superstorage solution, which has been turning heads among owners, builders, repairers, class societies and insurers since its launch. Using the SPS technology sandwich plate system instead of traditional cofferdams that separate tank walls, methanol superstorage boosts shipboard tank volumes by 85 per cent and provides effective mitigation for methanol's significantly lower energy density than conventional HFO.
