The green methanol cargo will be delivered to Shanghai, where it will be supplied as marine fuel to support the shipping industry's decarbonisation efforts.

The milestone marks the start of commercial operations under VTTI Dalian's long-term contract for the storage and handling of green methanol.

The company did not disclose the volume loaded, the identity of the producer, or other commercial details.
