Recently, Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering independently developed the world's first 24,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship, which has been successfully launched. The vessel adopts a methanol dual-fuel power system, enabling "carbon-neutral" operations. It has overcome core technologies such as methanol fuel tank safety and the intelligent construction of ultra-large hulls, marking a breakthrough in China's green shipping technology and driving a surge in demand for marine methanol (global marine methanol demand is expected to increase by 30% year-on-year in 2026). PriceSeek's analysis of methanol, with a long-short score of 1.5, describes the successful launch of the world's first 24,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship developed by Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering. The ship utilizes a methanol dual-fuel system to achieve carbon-neutral operations and has overcome core technologies, with global marine methanol demand projected to increase by 30% year-on-year in 2026. This breakthrough technology is expected to significantly boost the demand for methanol in the shipping sector, leading to tight supply in the spot market and driving up spot prices. A score of +1.5 indicates a strong positive outlook, as the demand growth expectations are significant and sustainable, but attention should be paid to the actual implementation progress and capacity response.
