Agreement is a natural continuation of the partnership following the delivery of methanol fuel supply systems for three of Terntank’s 15,000 DWT hybrid tankers over the past 12 month

Auramarine, the trusted fuel supply and auxiliary systems expert, announced that it has signed an agreement to provide its methanol fuel supply system to two vessels within Terntank’s fleet of next generation oil and chemical tankers. The vessels operate with wind-assisted propulsion and dual-fuel engines capable of running on MGO, biofuels, and methanol. The delivery of Auramarine’s methanol fuel supply system is scheduled for April 2026 and September 2026 and the tankers will be delivered in January and June 2027 from China Merchant’s Jinling shipyard, Yangzhou.

Commenting on the agreement, John Bergman, CEO, Auramarine, said: “We are delighted to announce that Terntank has once again selected Auramarine as their preferred methanol fuel supply system provider for the second time. 

“As well as price and availability, a key element driving the widespread uptake of future fuels is having the right bunkering and onboard operational infrastructure in place. Today’s agreement confirms that we are on the right path. At Auramarine, we are committed to supporting the shipping industry’s decarbonization and will continue to innovate to bring new solutions to market which will effectively support the green energy transition.”

Claes Möller, CEO, Tärntank Ship Management, added: “The new vessels demonstrate Terntank’s commitment to delivering sustainable shipping practices and supporting the industry as it looks to meet its decarbonisation targets. The hybrid tankers project, which is among the first of its kind, has required close collaboration with a number of partners. Given our recent positive experience with Auramarine, they were the natural choice to provide the methanol supply system for these new vessels.”
