Headway Technology Group recently won the bid to supply the methanol fuel supply system for 4+6 ships of 89,000 DWT methanol dual-fuel bulk carriers of Fujian Guohang Ocean Shipping (Group) Co., Ltd. Headway will provide a comprehensive solution for the project, covering core modules such as bunkering and transfer systems, methanol fuel treatment units, nitrogen systems, and control and security systems.
Additionally, Headway has also achieved a cooperation agreement with Fratelli Cosulich of Italy to provide a methanol fuel supply system for its 7,990 DWT methanol dual-fuel tanker, reported as the world’s first vessel to use MAN 21/31DF-M generators as the main propulsion power.
The 4+6 89,000 DWT methanol dual-fuel bulk carriers of Fujian Guohang Ocean Shipping adopt MAN B&W 6S60ME-C10.5-LGIM-EGRBP engines. These vessels will be built by Wuhu Shipyard and equipped with a complete set of Headway’s OceanGuard® Methanol Fuel Supply System. The first four vessels of this series are already effective and are expected to be delivered between 2025 and 2026.
Furthermore, the first 7,990 DWT IMO II methanol dual-fuel tanker ordered by Fratelli Cosulich from Taizhou Fengye Shipyard will also use Headway’s OceanGuard® Methanol Fuel Supply System. This vessel, which is the world’s first to use MAN 21/31DF-M generators as the main propulsion power, is scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2025. Headway will provide solutions including bunkering and transfer systems, methanol fuel treatment units, double-walled pipe ventilation systems, and control and security systems.
