Shanghai project targets standardised methanol bunkering services by 2028

Shanghai Chimbusco Marine Bunker Co Ltd on Tuesday (27 October) said it launched a municipal-level pilot project to standardise methanol bunkering services for ships, with the initiative scheduled for completion by the end of 2028.

The company held a launch meeting and technical training session on 20 October, marking the start of the project’s implementation phase. Experts from Shanghai Academy of Quality Management Co Ltd attended the meeting to provide guidance.

The project was selected for Shanghai’s 2026 standardisation pilot programme and will run for two years. It aims to establish a standardised service framework covering personnel, equipment, materials, methods and the operating environment, as well as procedures before, during and after methanol bunkering operations.

According to Shanghai Chimbusco Marine Bunker, the initiative aligns with China’s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals and Shanghai’s plans to develop an international green marine fuel bunkering hub.
