The Port of Hamburg’s Waltershofer Hafen has been given the rubber stamp of approval for ship-to-ship (STS) bunkering of methanol and liquefied natural gas (LNG), marking another ‘milestone’ for the port’s efforts oriented toward the broader utilization of eco-friendly fuels.

As disclosed, vessels at Waltershofer Hafen, which handles 90% of the largest containerships calling at Hamburg, can now fill up with these two alternative fuels at the Burchardkai and Predöhlkai central container terminals.
