On October 9, 2025, the Fratelli Cosulich Group launched Maya Cosulich, the world’s first methanol-powered IMO II chemical bunker tanker, at Taizhou Maple Leaf Shipyard. The event featured Ms. Hoe Sook Mei from Fratelli Cosulich’s Singapore office as the ship’s Godmother.

Designed by SeaTech Solutions International Pte Ltd, the Maya Cosulich incorporates diesel-electric propulsion, onboard battery storage, and two mass flow meters (MFMs). It meets the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore’s (MPA) methanol bunkering standards, establishing a new standard for safe and efficient alternative marine fuel delivery in the region.

Scheduled for delivery to Singapore by the end of 2025, Maya Cosulich will operate under a time charter with TFG Marine, marking its role as the first methanol dual-fuel bunker tanker in the Port of Singapore.
