2024年1月19日，广东珠海阳光明媚，华南地区唯一的低速机制造厂玉柴船动与汇舸集团举行了甲醇双燃料低速机供应站开工典礼，玉柴船动总经理邓辉和汇舸集团董事长周洋共同主持仪式。

国际海事组织IMO提出2050年前后国际航运业实现温室气体净零排放，欧盟碳市场2024年起将纳入航运业，2026年起要求航运企业为碳排放购买配额。甲醇燃料具有设备投资成本低、存储运输容易等优点，绿色甲醇能够实现100%碳中和，因此受到越来越多船东的青睐。

汇舸集团专注于船舶与海洋环保解决方案的开发与研究，深耕船舶与海洋环保解决方案、船用清洁能源应用、智能船舶领域。在船用新能源板块在汇舸脱硫系统200余船套业绩的基础上，持续研发和落地脱硫+脱碳系统，LNG/LEG-FGSS供气系统，甲醇/LPG/氨燃料-LFSS燃料系统，LNG/LPG/LCO2/氨-CHS液货系统等。汇舸集团对本次玉柴甲醇供应站项目予以高度重视，组建了专项项目组、国内和欧洲专业设计团队，为玉柴船动量身定制甲醇供应系统，目前已按计划完成了整套系统、施工方案的设计，系统设备也将于2024年1月份完成制造，预计在上半年完成安装调试交付。

玉柴船动是玉柴集团于2009年在总部基地之外投资建设的专业生产和销售低速大功率船用发动机的公司。玉柴船动于2015年交付了世界首台投入商业运营的RT-flex50DF低压天然气双燃料低速机，走在了建造新燃料船用低速机的前列。玉柴船动从2022年正式启动甲醇供应站建设项目，用于甲醇双燃料低速机的台架试验，接下来将以甲醇机订单为契机，按时完成甲醇燃料供应站的建设，力争走在甲醇、液氨等双燃料机的开发前列，成为国内领先、世界知名的清洁燃料船用低速机制造厂。

YCMP and ContiOcean held a groundbreaking ceremony for the methanol dual-fuel low-speed engine supply system

On January 19, 2024, under the bright sunshine in Zhuhai, Guangdong, Yuchai Marine Power Co., Ltd. (YCMP), the only low-speed engine manufacturer in South China, and ContiOcean Group held a groundbreaking ceremony for the methanol dual-fuel low-speed engine supply system. The ceremony was jointly hosted by General Manager of YCMP, Mr. Deng Hui, and Chairman of ContiOcean Group, Mr. Zhou Yang.

IMO has proposed that the international shipping industry achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions around 2050, and the EU carbon market will include the shipping industry from 2024, requiring shipping companies to purchase quotas for carbon emissions from 2026. Methanol fuel has the advantages of low equipment investment costs and easy storage and transportation, and green methanol can achieve 100% carbon neutrality, making it increasingly favored by shipowners.

ContiOcean Group, specializes in marine environmental protection solutions, with its main business covering marine environmental protection solutions, clean energy applications, intelligent equipment, and marine services. ContiOcean Group attaches great importance to the YCMP methanol supply system project, and has set up a special project team, domestic and European professional design team to customize the methanol supply system for YCMP. At present, the design of the project plan and construction plan has been completed as planned, and the system equipment will be completed in January this year, and the installation, commissioning and delivery are expected to be completed in the first half of the year.

We，ContiOcean, will do our best to contribute to the global marine environmental protection!

YCMP is a professional company established by Yuchai Group in 2009 for the production and sales of low-speed, high-power marine diesel engines outside the headquarters base. In 2015, YCMP delivered the world's first low-pressure natural gas dual-fuel low-speed engine, the RT-flex50DF, leading the way in the construction of new fuel ship low-speed engines. YCMP officially launched the methanol supply system construction project in 2022, which is used for the bench test of methanol dual-fuel low-speed engines. Next, YCMP will seize the opportunity of the methanol engine order, complete the construction of the methanol fuel supply station on time, and strive to be at the forefront of the development of methanol, liquid ammonia, and other dual-fuel engines, becoming a leading domestic and world-renowned clean fuel ship low-speed engine manufacturer.
