Italian group Fratelli Cosulich has marked a major milestone in the maritime industry with the start of construction of its first methanol-ready tanker, the Anna Cosulich .

Anna Cosulich methanol project launched
This new vessel, with a deadweight of 7,999 DWT, is part of a series of four vessels specifically designed to facilitate the maritime industry’s energy transition to more sustainable fuels . The methanol tanker is specially designed to transport methanol, an alternative fuel that contributes to the reduction of polluting gas emissions.

In addition, the company is building another dual-fuel vessel at the same shipyard, the Maya Cosulich, also equipped for methanol, which will reinforce the company’s commitment to clean energy.
With this series of four state-of-the-art tankers, we seek to offer our clients flexibility in an increasingly complex alternative fuel landscape, supporting the energy transition of our future charterers.
