Mabanaft and TUI Cruises sign MoU for the supply of methanol

In Germany, Hamburg-based energy company Mabanaft has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with TUI Cruises to supply green methanol in the future. 

The cooperation between Mabanaft and TUI Cruises kicks off with a methanol delivery for the Mein Schiff 7.

Over the next few years, TUI Cruises intends to add further dual-fuel methanol-ready cruise ships to its fleet in Germany.

As part of the agreement, Mabanaft said it is set to cover TUI Cruises’ methanol needs in Northern Germany – and potentially in other European ports in the future. The company intends to focus on a gradual transition to synthetic e-methanol.
