Green Marine and Vopak team up on methanol supply

This milestone is the next phase in Green Marine Fuels’ drive to expand methanol supply chain infrastructure and the company says it is planning a similar partnership with Vopak Singapore.

“This is an important milestone in the evolution of Green Marine Fuels Trading and further underscores our preparedness to supply green methanol to the imminent green transition within the shipping industry,” said Gavin McGrath, director at Green Marine.

“Our leadership in the global methanol marine fuel sector uniquely positions us to bridge the gap between methanol producers and buyers, with storage and supply infrastructure being a crucial link in the chain.”

Vopak says it is investing in new energies and sustainable feedstocks. Vopak (China) Management Company is the management company of Vopak Group in China and North Asia, which has already established terminals with a capacity of more than 3 million cbm in China’s major coastal provinces.

Vopak China has previously signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Tianjin Port Group to support the repurposing of Vopak Tianjin’s infrastructure for alternative fuels, including green methanol, sustainable aviation fuel, and potentially ammonia and liquid organic hydrogen carriers.
