Stream Marine Technical is inviting industry professionals to a free online webinar introducing methanol as a marine fuel and exploring the growing importance of IGF Code training in the transition toward low-flashpoint fuel operations.
Taking place on Thursday 19 June at 10:00am BST, the session titled “Meet the Molecule: Methanol” will break down how methanol is becoming a key fuel for reducing emissions at sea, and what this means for ship operations, compliance, and crew training.
Why Methanol?
As the shipping industry accelerates its move towards greener energy, methanol is emerging as a leading alternative marine fuel. It offers a lower carbon footprint and safer handling than other gas fuels, but also introduces unique operational requirements — particularly for vessel safety and crew competency.
IGF Code & Training Requirements
The webinar will introduce the International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-Flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code) — the IMO regulation that sets the training and safety standards for vessels using alternative fuels like methanol, LNG, and hydrogen.
Participants will gain insight into:
-
Methanol’s properties and suitability for marine fuel
-
How the IGF Code applies to methanol
-
Training and certification requirements for seafarers
-
Upcoming developments in future fuel operations
