In a significant development for the maritime industry, Norway’s first ship powered by bio-methanol has commenced operations. The vessel, along with its sister ship, is under a 15-year time charter to North Sea Container Line (NCL). This initiative is part of NCL’s ongoing efforts to enhance the safety and sustainability of sea freight transport. By adopting bio-methanol as an alternative fuel source, the company aims to reduce its environmental impact and contribute to the decarbonisation of the shipping sector. The successful deployment of this innovative technology marks a crucial step towards a greener future for the maritime industry in Norway and beyond.
