Proman Stena Bulk has ordered what it said will be the world's first dual-fuel methanol tanker available to the general market.

The joint venture between Swiss methanol producer Proman and Swedish shipowner Stena Bulk said a new 49,000-dwt MR has been contracted at Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) in China for delivery in 2022.

The vessel — named Stena Prosperous — is the third in the innovative series at the yard.
