Methanol fuel tanks

Tanks holding methanol, with the cofferdams and inerting its low flashpoint and toxicity require.

Fuel transfer pumps

Pumps moving methanol from storage to the conditioning and supply equipment.

Fuel-conditioning unit

The skid delivering methanol at the pressure, temperature and filtration the engines need.

Double-wall fuel piping

Contained piping with a monitored annular space, so a methanol leak is captured and detected instead of escaping.

Fuel-connection and bunkering station

The bunkering point with drip containment and safety fittings suited to a fuel that burns with an almost invisible flame.

Ventilation and gas detection

Ventilation of enclosed fuel spaces with detectors that sense methanol vapour before concentrations become dangerous.

ESD and fuel-control system

The controls metering fuel to the engines and shutting the system down safely on leak or fault.
