S&SYS, Approval In Principle "Methanol Fueled MR Tanker"

Korea Register(KR) announced Approval In Principle "Methanol Fueled MR Tanker" developed by K-Shipbuilding and S&SYS on 7th JUNE.

The "Methanol Double Fuel Propulsion MR Tanker" is a ship that uses diesel (MGO) for ships and methanol as dual fuels,
and is designed to have two eco-friendly methanol tanks placed on both sides of the upper open deck.

S&SYS designed the fuel supply system, K-Shipbuilding performed the basic design of MR tankers and methanol fuel tank designs.

Methanol is in a liquid state similar to bunker oil at room temperature, which does not require pressurization,
and has the advantage of being easier to store and transport than Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Hydrogen, and Ammonia.
