据8月17日离岸能源报道称，世界上第一艘由绿色甲醇驱动的集装箱船已抵达埃及东塞得港，这是它从韩国蔚山到丹麦哥本哈根的首航中的第三个停靠站。
苏伊士运河经济区（SCZONE）表示，该船由行业巨头马士基公司所有，于8月15日星期二抵达港口。
该船由韩国现代尾浦船坞建造，于7月交付。
这艘172米长的船使用MAN Energy Solutions的G50/G95双燃料发动机，该发动机能够使用绿色甲醇或传统燃料。
马士基已从荷兰绿色甲醇生产商OCI Global获得了该船首航所需的绿色甲醇。
该船于7月16日在韩国蔚山港完成首次加注，并于7月27日在新加坡停靠，在那里通过洪林海运的MT Agility油轮加注了另一批绿色甲醇。
此次行动标志着世界上首次实现船对船的甲醇加注作业，也是新加坡在多燃料旅程中的突破，因为这是该城市国家的第一次甲醇加注作业。
该船将在埃及接收新一批燃料，最后在鹿特丹停靠，然后抵达哥本哈根，将于9月完成使命并接受命名。
这艘船的命名者将是欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩。
这两项加注作业包括船对船的加注作业，使该船能够在从蔚山到哥本哈根的整个首航中使用绿色甲醇燃料。
马士基目前有25艘双燃料船的订单，集装箱容量从2000标准箱到16000标准箱不等。该公司预计，到2027年，全部绿色燃料动力船队将交付并投入运营。
为了及时实现2040年温室气体净零排放的目标，船东的目标是到2030年，与2020年相比，使用绿色燃料运输至少25%的海运货物。
该船抵达埃及之际，隶属于SCZONE的东塞得港正在进行重大扩建，包括该港口与东塞得港工业区的整合。
具体而言，埃及正在大力投资，将SCZONE打造成一个清洁能源生产和绿色燃料中心。
值得一提的是，埃及拥有丰富的风能和太阳能资源，可用于生产绿色氢气和氢基绿色燃料，如e-甲醇和氨。由于其战略地理位置，该国也有成为全球绿色能源强国的市场条件，埃及政府正在努力挖掘这一潜力。
最近，埃及朝着建立该国第一个绿色甲醇生产项目迈出了一步，该项目将包括约4.5亿美元的投资，每年生产4万吨绿色甲醇。
该项目的联合开发协议于5月14日由埃及亚历山大国家炼油和石化公司（ANRPC）和挪威可再生能源解决方案提供商Scatec以及埃及生物乙醇公司合作签署。

World’s 1st green methanol-powered containership docks in Egypt
The world’s first containership powered by green methanol has reached East Port Said, Egypt, its third bunkering stop on its maiden journey from Ulsan, South Korea to Copenhagen, Denmark.
The ship, owned by industry major Maersk, arrived at the port on Tuesday, August 15, the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) said.
The 2,100 TEU feeder was built by South Korea’s Hyundai Mipo Dockyard and delivered in July.
The 172-meter long ship runs on MAN Energy Solutions’ G50 or G95 dual-fuel engine capable of running on green methanol or conventional fuel.
Maersk has secured green methanol for the ship’s full maiden voyage from OCI Global, a Dutch-based green methanol producer.
The ship received its inaugural fueling at the Port of Ulsan, South Korea on July 16, and made a stop in Singapore on July 27, where it received another batch of green methanol via Hong Lam Marine’s tanker MT Agility.
The operation marked the world’s first ship-to-containership methanol bunkering operation, serving also as a breakthrough for Singapore in its multi-fuel journey, as it was the city-state’s first methanol bunkering operation.
The ship is set to receive a new batch of fuel in Egypt and, finally Rotterdam, before reaching Copenhagen where it will be christened in September.
The ship’s godmother will be the president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
The two bunkering operations will include ship-to-ship bunkering operations enabling the vessel to make the entire maiden voyage from Ulsan to Copenhagen fuelled by green methanol.
Maersk currently has 25 dual-fuel vessels on order ranging from 2,000 TEU container capacity to 16,000 TEU. The firm expects that the full fleet of green fuel-powered vessels will be delivered and operational by 2027.
To meet the 2040 target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in time, the shipowner aims to transport a minimum of 25% of ocean cargo using green fuels by 2030, compared to a 2020 baseline.
The arrival of the vessel to Egypt coincides with a major expansion at the East Port Said, which is affiliated to SCZONE, including the integration between the port and the industrial zone in East Port Said.
Specifically, Egypt is investing strenuous efforts to turn SCZONE into a clean energy production and green fuels hub.
Egypt has abundant wind and solar resources which can be used to produce green hydrogen and hydrogen-based green fuels such as e-methanol and ammonia. Due to its strategic geographical position, the country also has market conditions to become a global powerhouse in green energy, and the Egyptian Government is trying to tap into this potential.
Most recently, Egypt made a step towards establishing the country’s first green methanol production project which will include investments of about $450 million and produce 40,000 tons of green methanol per year.
The joint development agreement for this project was signed on 14 May by Egypt’s Alexandria National Refining and Petrochemicals Company (ANRPC) and Norwegian renewable energy solutions provider Scatec in collaboration with the Egyptian Bioethanol Company.
