By 2026 Newsletter week 21

Auramarine has been selected to supply methanol fuel supply systems for six new RoPax vessels ordered by the Grimaldi Group from China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Weihai).

The vessels will operate in the Mediterranean under the Grimaldi Lines and Minoan Lines brands. They will be equipped with engines capable of running on methanol, supporting the group’s net-zero ambitions.

Auramarine will deliver complete methanol fuel supply systems for all six vessels, covering safe and efficient fuel handling from bunkering to the main engine. The scope also includes control and emergency shutdown (ESD) automation.

In addition, Auramarine will supply conventional fuel systems for the main and auxiliary engines, allowing the dual-fuel vessels to operate on HFO, MGO and biofuels.
