新闻翻译 - 行业表示支持甲醇作为船舶清洁燃料 Industry shows support for Methanol as marine fuel
The shipping community has shown support for the use of Methanol as a marine fuel during a recent seminar held in Athens.
近日在希腊雅典举办的一场技术论坛上，航运界人士表示支持使用甲醇作为船舶燃料选择之一。
The seminar series organiser Capt Saleem Alavi, president of Sea Commerce, reinforced the advantages of Methanol compared to liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is being heavily marketed as a long-term solution.
论坛组织者Sea Commerce总裁Saleem Alavi船长先生，再次强调了甲醇相比液化天然气（LNG）作为船舶燃料的诸多优势，尤其当前LNG已被广为宣传将作为长期的船舶燃料解决方案的背景下。
“Methanol is similar to existing liquid marine fuels and is much easier to handle than LNG, as existing fuel tanks can be used, while the cost of conversion to Methanol is 25 per cent of an LNG conversion. Beyond cost savings, Methanol is the only 2020-compliant fuel capable of intrinsically achieving NOx Tier III compliance by use of water in fuel technology. In the near term, bio-Methanol has near zero CO2 footprint, hence it is capable of addressing the forthcoming IMO CO2 reduction regulations,” said Capt Alavi.
Alavi船长表示：“甲醇和现在使用的液体船舶燃料相似，要比液化天然气（LNG）更容易控制，而且船载的燃料仓可以被继续使用，同时甲醇燃料装置的改装费相当于LNG改装费的25%。除了能够节约成本之外，在燃料技术层面，只有甲醇能够达到2020年氮排放Tier III标准而成为合格船舶燃料。短期来看，生物制成的甲醇几乎达到二氧化碳零排放，所以使用甲醇作为船舶燃料能够符合即将生效的IMO二氧化碳减排法规。”
Paul Hexter, president of Waterfront Shipping, a wholly owned suBSIdiary of Methanex, explained that Methanol could be cost-competitive and delivered value beyond a simple bunker cost equivalent.
“On an energy equivalent basis, Methanol is cost competitive over the cycle compared to conventional low sulphur fuels such as MGO. Going forward, we see significant value creation opportunities of a Methanol flex fuel engine, with efficiency gains mitigating expected increases in the price of conventional ultra-low sulphur fuels and the potential to eliminate selective catalytic reduction. These benefits make Methanol a viable clean fuel option for the marine industry and part of the solution to help meet future emissions regulations.”
Methanex全资子公司Waterfront Shipping总裁Pual Hexter先生表示，甲醇具有成本竞争力，相比同等成本的其他燃料可以带来价值。“在能源等同的情况下，相比传统的低硫船舶燃料比如轻柴油具有成本竞争力。
另外，我们也能从使用甲醇发动机方面看到可观的价值产生机会，随着效率的提高，降低了传统超低硫燃料价格的增长预期，以及消除选择性催化还原的潜力。这些有利的方面使甲醇成为船舶行业重要的清洁替代燃料，同时可以帮助达到排放控制规定。”
Peter Hinchliffe, consultant to the Methanol Institute provided a perspective on the development of regulations governing the use of Methanol, in the revision of the IGF Code by IMO.
“We are in a confidence-building stage at the moment where we can see a clear trajectory through sulphur regulations to the IMO strategy on GHG reduction and shipowners need to see this as a continuum; a knee jerk reaction to first sulphur and then to CO2 reduction will not be cost-effective. Methanol provides a solution that addresses both regulations and over time should be both a cost-effective and long-term solution.”
国际甲醇学会顾问Peter Hinchliffe提供了在IMO修改IGF Code过程中甲醇使用规定的发展愿景。“当前我们处于信心建立阶段，我们可以看到通过限硫令符合IMO关于温室气体减排策略的清晰路线图，船东们必须视之为常态。比较让人挠头的是开始的脱硫和随后的脱碳都不便宜。甲醇提供了可以同时满足两项要求的解决方案，而且随着时间推移也会成为即节省资金又长效的解决方案。”
Fredrik Stubner, director ship management Marinvest Shipping, shared real life operational experience running tankers powered by Methanol on behalf of Waterfront Shipping.
“Our first four ships delivered in 2016, have not experienced any serious issues that have resulted in off-hire or idle time and we now have in excess of 45,000 successful running hours on Methanol. What should be realised is that the EEDI reduction introduced in 2030 will apply for new ships as well as old. We expect that carbon emissions will be measured from well to wake, so Methanol which can be produced from many different sources will have big advantages.”
Marine Shipping公司船舶管理总监Fredrik Stubner分享了代表Waterfront Shipping运营甲醇动力油轮的实操经验。他说：”我们2016年交付的4艘船从来没有碰到任何严重的问题，而导致脱租或闲置。截止现在，用甲醇运营了超过4.5万个小时。但要清楚认识到2030年EEDI对新船和老船同时生效。我们希望碳排放可以被检测，这样从多渠道生产的甲醇将拥有绝对优势。“
George Drossos, head of marine new sales, MAN Energy Solutions Hellas stressed the simplicity of adopting Methanol fuelled engines as well as the fuel’s ability to meet NOx emissions regulations.
“Our LGIM Methanol engine not only lowers SOx and CO2 emissions, our latest tests show that mixed with water, Methanol can meet Tier III NOx emissions without any additional SCR equipment. Installation is simple as a Methanol fuel gas supply system operates at low-pressure and fuel is stored without the need for cryogenics. Engines can be retrofitted easily with very few components, thereby increasing the value of the vessel.”
MAN能源解决公司Hellas的船用新造销售部门经理 George Drossos强调了使用甲醇发动机的简易型，和甲醇满足氮排放要求的能力。”我们的LGIM甲醇发动机不仅可以降低硫和碳排放，而且我们近期开展的实验表明，甲醇加入水之后可以满足 Tier III氮排放标准，而无需额外的清洗装备。安装简单，因为甲醇燃料供气系统运行压力较低，而且无需低温仓储。发动机改装也很容易，只需要很少配件，从而提高了船只的价值。“
Feedback from delegates suggested that the industry still requires additional data and practical information on the use of Methanol as marine fuel and on its potential as a sustainable fuel when produced from renewable sources.
与会代表建议行业在使用甲醇作为船舶燃料方面还需要更多数据和实际应用的信息，以及甲醇从可再生能源生产出来成为可持续性船舶燃料的潜力。
Basil Galanomatis, manager, Newbuilding Contracting, George Moundreas & Company SA, commented: “Methanol seems to be one of the most attractive solutions for use as marine fuel provided the issues of availability and production cost are resolved. The method of Methanol production by capturing atmospheric CO2 seems to be very promising in respect to a dramatic reduction in GHG emissions.”
George Moundreas & Company SA新造船部门经理Basil Galanomatis评论道：”甲醇看上去将成为最具吸引力的船舶替代燃料，前提需要解决加注方便性和减低生产成本。从大气二氧化碳中提取甲醇的方法十分有前景，而且会大幅度减少温室气体排放。“
