Giant methanol producer Proman will need more new tankers for its new Abu Dhabi plant, but will not be ordering them just yet.
The Swiss group and joint venture partner Stena Bulk have ordered six methanol-fuelled 50,000-dwt vessels in China.
The first four are in operation — three owned by the joint venture and one by Proman — and the final two are due at the end of this year and the start of 2024, for Proman’s account.
