December 10, 2025 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Advario has begun storing green methanol at its Daya Bay Terminal in China, marking another development in the company’s efforts to support lower-carbon marine fuels.

Through a new trial operation with Shenzhen Port Energy Development Co. Ltd., Advario receives green methanol by truck and delivers it by vessel to Shenzhen Port for use in bunkering services for major shipping lines including COSCO, Maersk and HPL. The first vessel loading took place last week, with close collaboration across teams essential in making the operation possible.

Planned Capacity Expansion

Advario is now working with its customer to explore a significant scale-up with a targeted capacity of 5,000 to 8,000 cubic metres by Q3 2026, subject to bonded storage approval. This next phase will enable both ship-in and ship-out movements and support the continued growth of green methanol bunkering in the region.

As green methanol becomes an increasingly important option for the decarbonisation of global shipping, this development reinforces Advario’s commitment to working alongside customers and partners in developing practical paths toward a lower-carbon future.
