Challenge 

We supported Fratelli Cosulich in delivering a project of major significance for sustainable bunkering. The Maya Cosulich is the world’s first IMO II chemical bunker tanker powered by methanol and the first dual-fuel methanol bunker vessel to operate in the Port of Singapore. 

The construction of this vessel aims to accelerate the transition toward low-emission fuels in a sector still heavily reliant on fossil fuels, while fully complying with safety and environmental regulations. 

Maya Cosulich Vessel

 

Applied Expertise 

The Maya Cosulich Project, designed by SeaTech Solutions International Pte Ltd, involved the ambitious development of diesel-electric propulsion, onboard battery storage, and two mass flow meters. In full compliance with MPA methanol bunkering standards, the vessel sets a new benchmark for accurate, efficient, and safe methanol bunkering operations. 

Our role in this project extended from design approval for all disciplines and risk assessment for methanol fuel to construction supervision, business activities (drawing approval, site inspection, certification, and consulting), ensuring that safety, environmental performance, and regulatory compliance for whole life cycle. 

Impact 

The completion of this project marks a turning point for the marine industry in promoting the use of sustainable fuels. In particular, the vessel embodies Fratelli Cosulich Group’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence in the energy transition. 

By achieving this milestone, the Group strengthens its ability to provide customers with a reliable and transparent supply of marine fuels, while actively supporting the industry’s transition to low-carbon alternatives.
