據(jù)8月17日離岸能源報道稱，世界上第一艘由綠色甲醇驅(qū)動的集裝箱船已抵達埃及東塞得港，這是它從韓國蔚山到丹麥哥本哈根的首航中的第三個停靠站。

蘇伊士運河經(jīng)濟區(qū)（SCZONE）表示，該船由行業(yè)巨頭馬士基公司所有，于8月15日星期二抵達港口。

該船由韓國現(xiàn)代尾浦船塢建造，于7月交付。

這艘172米長的船使用MAN Energy Solutions的G50/G95雙燃料發(fā)動機，該發(fā)動機能夠使用綠色甲醇或傳統(tǒng)燃料。

馬士基已從荷蘭綠色甲醇生產(chǎn)商OCI Global獲得了該船首航所需的綠色甲醇。

該船于7月16日在韓國蔚山港完成首次加注，并于7月27日在新加坡停靠，在那里通過洪林海運的MT Agility油輪加注了另一批綠色甲醇。

此次行動標志著世界上首次實現(xiàn)船對船的甲醇加注作業(yè)，也是新加坡在多燃料旅程中的突破，因為這是該城市國家的第一次甲醇加注作業(yè)。

該船將在埃及接收新一批燃料，最后在鹿特丹停靠，然后抵達哥本哈根，將于9月完成使命并接受命名。

這艘船的命名者將是歐盟委員會主席烏爾蘇拉·馮德萊恩。

這兩項加注作業(yè)包括船對船的加注作業(yè)，使該船能夠在從蔚山到哥本哈根的整個首航中使用綠色甲醇燃料。

馬士基目前有25艘雙燃料船的訂單，集裝箱容量從2000標準箱到16000標準箱不等。該公司預(yù)計，到2027年，全部綠色燃料動力船隊將交付并投入運營。

為了及時實現(xiàn)2040年溫室氣體凈零排放的目標，船東的目標是到2030年，與2020年相比，使用綠色燃料運輸至少25%的海運貨物。

該船抵達埃及之際，隸屬于SCZONE的東塞得港正在進行重大擴建，包括該港口與東塞得港工業(yè)區(qū)的整合。

具體而言，埃及正在大力投資，將SCZONE打造成一個清潔能源生產(chǎn)和綠色燃料中心。

值得一提的是，埃及擁有豐富的風(fēng)能和太陽能資源，可用于生產(chǎn)綠色氫氣和氫基綠色燃料，如e-甲醇和氨。由于其戰(zhàn)略地理位置，該國也有成為全球綠色能源強國的市場條件，埃及政府正在努力挖掘這一潛力。

最近，埃及朝著建立該國第一個綠色甲醇生產(chǎn)項目邁出了一步，該項目將包括約4.5億美元的投資，每年生產(chǎn)4萬噸綠色甲醇。

該項目的聯(lián)合開發(fā)協(xié)議于5月14日由埃及亞歷山大國家煉油和石化公司（ANRPC）和挪威可再生能源解決方案提供商Scatec以及埃及生物乙醇公司合作簽署。

World’s 1st green methanol-powered containership docks in Egypt

The world’s first containership powered by green methanol has reached East Port Said, Egypt, its third bunkering stop on its maiden journey from Ulsan, South Korea to Copenhagen, Denmark.

The ship, owned by industry major Maersk, arrived at the port on Tuesday, August 15, the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) said.

The 2,100 TEU feeder was built by South Korea’s Hyundai Mipo Dockyard and delivered in July.

The 172-meter long ship runs on MAN Energy Solutions’ G50 or G95 dual-fuel engine capable of running on green methanol or conventional fuel.

Maersk has secured green methanol for the ship’s full maiden voyage from OCI Global, a Dutch-based green methanol producer.

The ship received its inaugural fueling at the Port of Ulsan, South Korea on July 16, and made a stop in Singapore on July 27, where it received another batch of green methanol via Hong Lam Marine’s tanker MT Agility.

The operation marked the world’s first ship-to-containership methanol bunkering operation, serving also as a breakthrough for Singapore in its multi-fuel journey, as it was the city-state’s first methanol bunkering operation.

The ship is set to receive a new batch of fuel in Egypt and, finally Rotterdam, before reaching Copenhagen where it will be christened in September.

The ship’s godmother will be the president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.

The two bunkering operations will include ship-to-ship bunkering operations enabling the vessel to make the entire maiden voyage from Ulsan to Copenhagen fuelled by green methanol.

Maersk currently has 25 dual-fuel vessels on order ranging from 2,000 TEU container capacity to 16,000 TEU. The firm expects that the full fleet of green fuel-powered vessels will be delivered and operational by 2027.

To meet the 2040 target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in time, the shipowner aims to transport a minimum of 25% of ocean cargo using green fuels by 2030, compared to a 2020 baseline.

The arrival of the vessel to Egypt coincides with a major expansion at the East Port Said, which is affiliated to SCZONE, including the integration between the port and the industrial zone in East Port Said.

Specifically, Egypt is investing strenuous efforts to turn SCZONE into a clean energy production and green fuels hub.

Egypt has abundant wind and solar resources which can be used to produce green hydrogen and hydrogen-based green fuels such as e-methanol and ammonia. Due to its strategic geographical position, the country also has market conditions to become a global powerhouse in green energy, and the Egyptian Government is trying to tap into this potential.

Most recently, Egypt made a step towards establishing the country’s first green methanol production project which will include investments of about $450 million and produce 40,000 tons of green methanol per year.

The joint development agreement for this project was signed on 14 May by Egypt’s Alexandria National Refining and Petrochemicals Company (ANRPC) and Norwegian renewable energy solutions provider Scatec in collaboration with the Egyptian Bioethanol Company.
