Ulsan Port Authority (UPA) announced that it successfully completed Korea\u2019s first methanol bunkering for a dual-fuel bulk carrier at Ulsan Port on September 28, 2025.<\/p>\n

This achievement follows Ulsan Port\u2019s world-first successful methanol bunkering demonstrations for container ships (PTS\/STS) in 2023-2024, reaffirming its role as a leading hub for sustainable marine fuel supply. With this success, Ulsan Port has expanded its bunkering track record from container ships to bulk carriers.<\/p>\n

The operation this time was conducted for \u201cGreen Future\u201d, a methanol dual-fuel bulk carrier chartered by NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers Ltd., an NYK Group company, from Kambara Kisen Co., Ltd.<\/p>\n

The fuel, green methanol produced by OCI Global, was supplied by ITOCHU Corporation through storage at the OTK Terminal, and transferred via ship-to-ship (STS) bunkering.<\/p>\n

The bunkering was conducted safely and efficiently by utilizing the infrastructure at Ulsan New Port\u2019s Southern Breakwater T\/S Pier, marking Korea\u2019s first green methanol STS bunkering for a dry bulk carrier.<\/p>\n

UPA President Jae-young Byeon said, \u201cThis bunkering operation is a milestone that demonstrates Ulsan Port\u2019s capability to deliver commercial-scale green methanol bunkering.\u201d He added, \u201cBuilding on this achievement, we are committed to spearheading sustainable marine fuel bunkering as a trusted global hub.\u201d<\/p>\n
