Sweden’s Gothenburg Port Authority (GPA) is clearing the way to be able to fuel methanol-powered newbuildings.

The port company has devised methanol operating regulations for ship-to-ship bunkering and is also making arrangements to set up a value chain with the ambition of becoming the primary bunkering hub for renewable methanol in Northern Europe.

By 2030, the Port of Gothenburg wants to cut shipping emissions by 70% within the port area.
