Auramarine has signed an agreement to provide its methanol fuel supply system to two vessels within Terntank’s fleet of next generation oil and chemical tankers.
The vessels operate with wind-assisted propulsion and dual-fuel engines capable of running on MGO, biofuels, and methanol. The delivery of Auramarine’s methanol fuel supply system is scheduled for April 2026 and September 2026 and the tankers will be delivered in January and June 2027 from China Merchant’s Jinling shipyard, Yangzhou.
Commenting on the agreement, John Bergman, CEO of Auramarine, explained that, in addition to price and availability, a key element driving the widespread uptake of future fuels was having the right bunkering and onboard operational infrastructure in place.
He noted that the agreement confirmed they were on the right path. Bergman emphasized that Auramarine was committed to supporting the shipping industry’s decarbonization and would continue to innovate to bring new solutions to market that would effectively support the green energy transition.
The hybrid tankers project, which is among the first of its kind, has required close collaboration with a number of partners. Given our recent positive experience with Auramarine, they were the natural choice to provide the methanol supply system for these new vessels
