Shipmanagement company launched in Dubai focusing on methanol-powered vessels

A shipmanagement venture has been created to focus on methanol-powered ships. Dockendale Ship Management has teamed with methanol marine specialist Green Marine to form the new Dubai company. 

Dockendale Green Marine Ship Management will be headed by Vikrant Gusain, who joined Dockendale in April this year after many years with Fleet Management and Univan Ship Management. 

“Our partnership with Green Marine is the result of a shared vision to advance methanol dual-fuel ships and as a result, decarbonisation of the maritime industry. Green shipping is moving at an incredibly rapid pace, and we felt it was an opportune time to bolster our shipmanagement service offerings and demonstrate our commitment to building a more sustainable future for shipping,” Gusain said.

As of October 1, there were 216 methanol-fuelled ships on order or in operation, according to data from class society DNV.
