Italy’s Fratelli Cosulich Group has made its first move into methanol dual-fuel tankers.
The Trieste-based owner has ordered an 8,000-dwt bunker vessel at Taizhou Maple Leaf Shipbuilding in China.
The ship, whose cargo tanks will be coated to enable it to carry green methanol and biofuels, will be chartered on a fixed rate to trading giant Trafigura.
