Stena Germanica the world's first methanol-powered ferry

The newly-converted Stena Germanica, the worlds first methanol-powered ferry, was given a
rousing reception in both Gothenburg and Kiel the two end-cities of its route when it was
delivered at the end of March.
By using methanol as its main fuel the revolutionary vessel, which is owned and operated by
the Swedish ferry operator Stena Line, will be able to reduce her emissions of sulphur by
99%, NOx by 60%, particulates by 95% and CO by 25% thus complying with the latest ECA
regulations on its Baltic Sea route.
The launch follows a 22 million EU-funded refit overseen by surveyors from Lloyds
Register at Rementowa shipyard in Gdansk, Poland between January and March. During the
refit a collaboration between Stena Line, Finnish engine-maker Wartsila, the ports of
Gothenburg and Kiel, methanol specialist Methanex Corporation and ship designer
ScandiNAOS the ro-pax was fitted with dual-fuel methanol and diesel injection nozzles on
its Wartsila engines.
Methanol is a biodegradable, environmentally friendly and cost efficient fuel that reduces the
emissions of sulphur and particles by 99 percent. The Stena Germanicas fuel system and
engines have been adapted in the shipyard in a collaboration between Stena Line and
Wrtsil. The technology is called dual fuel methanol is the main fuel, but there is the
option to use Marine Gas Oil (MGO) as backup.
