The Taranaki Sun is one of seven new ships built for Waterfront Shipping
Company Ltd, a subsidiary of Methanex, to load and transport methanol.

The 50,000 dead weight tonne vessels, boast the first two-stroke dual fuel
engines that can run on methanol, fuel oil, marine diesel oil or gas oil. The
ground-breaking technology will significantly reduce emissions and give ship
owners a viable, efficient and convenient fuel alternative.

Methanol, which is manufactured at three plants in Taranaki by Methanex, is a
biodegradable, clean-burning fuel that reduces smog-causing emissions.
