MOL announced that on January 17, a ceremony for the naming and delivery of the Cypress Sun, a dual-fuel methanol carrier that can run on either methanol or conventional heavy fuel oil, was held at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.

The vessel will be chartered by MOL from Osaka Shipping, and Waterfront Shipping will charter the vessel from MOL under a long-term contract.

The vessel is a sister ship to the Capilano Sun, which was delivered in 2021 and also chartered by MOL to WFS.

MOL operates a large fleet of methanol carriers, with a total of 19, and it has been expanding the number of dual-fuel vessels, which can run on methanol, since 2016. Currently, MOL operates five of the 23 methanol dual-fuel tankers in service worldwide, including the Cypress Sun.

The MOL Group is committed to addressing environmental issues in accordance with the “MOL Group Environmental Vision 2.1.,” and it will leverage the experience and expertise the group has accumulated over the years to provide a wide range of services to customers, and work to further expand methanol transportation services

Earlier in January, MOL announced that the first of Japan’s first two LNG-fueled ferries, the Sunflower Kurenai, operated by its group company Ferry Sunflower Co, entered service on January 13.

The ferry serves the Osaka-Beppu route between Sunflower Ferry Terminal (Osaka Prefecture) and Beppu International Tourist Port (Oita Prefecture) as a replacement for the ferry Sunflower Ivory.

Compared to earlier ferries, the new ferry offers greater transport capacity and convenience for both cargo and passenger transport. In freight transportation, it has greater capacity to load trucks and provides a larger, more comfortable room for truck drivers.
