Figure 6: 1Designs for a 15 000 TEU container vessel for conversion from fuel oil to methanol. (A) Full range (16
000 m3) dual fuel vessel (preparation level 4) or after conversion from newbuild preparation levels 1-3. (B) Full range (16 000 m3)
vessel after conversion from newbuild preparation levels 0. (C) Reduced range (10 000 m3) vessel after conversion from newbuild
preparation levels 0-3. FPR= fuel preparation room, FO=fuel oil, BS=bunker station.
PREPARING CONTAINER VESSELFOR CONVERSION TO GREEN FUELS – OCTOBER 2022 PAGE 15 / 27
Fuel oil tanks to be constructed for methanol with cofferdams and coated with zinc silicate to contain methanol later
Tank Tank capacity to be split to support dual fuel operation with both methanol and fuel oil
Fuel supply system System scope must be assessed to allow dimensioning of the fuel preparation room and allow space allocation
