In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that methanol producer and supplier Proman has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Lithuanian Port of Klaipeda to support the implementation of future methanol bunkering in or near the port.
Under the terms of the agreement, Proman will support the Lithuanian port in planning, designing and implementing future methanol bunkering. The company will also help the port with the potential development of a methanol-to-power project for shoreside power (SSE) in or near the Klaipeda port.
“The number of ships powered by alternative fuels has been growing every year. With both ship owners and ports obliged to reduce their annual emissions, alternatively fuelled ships are becoming increasingly more integrated into the shipping sector”, said Algis Latakas, CEO of Klaipeda State Seaport Authority.
Timothy Cornelius, Managing Director of Corporate Development at Proman, said: “Our range of products, particularly our low-carbon methanol blends, combined with our continuing investments in green and low-carbon methanol production facilities globally, will help catalyze the energy transition for a diverse range of industries. This agreement with Klaipeda Port is a part of our effort to provide storage, bunkering and logistics solutions within Europe for our worldwide customer base.”
