Free learning opportunities designed for cadets and future seafarers
Methanol-ready ships are entering the fleet fast. Take a look inside a methanol dual-fuel engine and learn what changes for the crew who run it.
About This Session
Methanol has moved from experiment to order book. Shipowners are choosing it because it is liquid at room temperature and can be made from renewable sources — but it brings its own handling and safety challenges.
A technical specialist from an engine manufacturer takes you inside a methanol dual-fuel engine: how the fuel is supplied, how it burns, and what is different from conventional fuel oil. You will also learn the safety points every crew member on a methanol-fuelled ship needs to know.
