Stream Marine Technical recently featured in an industry-led webinar, Meet the Molecule: Methanol – IGF Training in Focus, hosted by Ship Management International.

With methanol fast becoming a frontrunner in the maritime fuel transition, the session explored key safety considerations, IGF Code compliance, and what operators and crews need to know as uptake accelerates.

Representing Stream Marine Technical were Iain Bonehill and Craig Smith, both Alternative Fuel Instructors and Consultants. The pair shared practical insight on methanol-specific training requirements, safety risks, and how Stream’s courses are adapting to meet industry needs.

“Methanol is no longer emerging – it’s here,” said Craig Smith. “The goal now is ensuring that operational knowledge keeps pace with adoption.”

Iain Bonehill added: “Many crew members and operators still have questions about what methanol handling actually looks like. That’s where IGF Code training makes the difference.”
