A new design for a product tanker running on methanol regardless of its cargo has been approved by classification society DNV GL.
The ship, dubbed the low-emission advanced product tanker (LEAP), has been developed by South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD), the Methanol Institute and MAN Energy Solutions.
Up to now, tankers carrying methanol have been the only ones designed to run on the sustainable fuel as well.
