With methanol gaining momentum as a sustainable marine fuel, new safety protocols and infrastructure adaptations are crucial. By 2028, over 300 methanol-capable vessels are expected to be operational, creating a pressing need for efficient, reliable supply chains. Together, TankMatch and Evos are stepping up to meet this challenge, combining their expertise to provide seamless, one-stop solutions for methanol bunkering.

Unlocking new capacity for methanol bunkering
Evos is planning to expand its terminal capacity to meet the growing demand for methanol storage and bunkering services. The planned expansion includes five new tanks with a total capacity of 13,500 m³ each, along with a dedicated berth to ensure quick, efficient service. Customers will have the option to store bio-, e-, and grey methanol, with options for co-mingled or segregated storage based on quality and biogenic content. The new berth will accommodate bunker barges up to 135 meters in length, with impressive pumping speeds of up to 750 m³ per hour, offering unmatched speed and flexibility for high-volume customers.

“The market was calling for a game-changing solution to integrate storage and bunkering, and we listened,” said Marcel Jordens, Commercial manager, TankMatch. “By teaming up with Evos, we’re offering a truly comprehensive service. With Evos’ central Rotterdam location, our fleet can easily reach all corners of the ARA region in under 10 hours, enabling fast and flexible bunkering in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Antwerp.”

Johannes Veldt, Commercial manager, Evos Rotterdam, echoed the enthusiasm: “This partnership is all about delivering smart, sustainable solutions for the future. “Together, we’re making green methanol bunkering easier and more accessible than ever, and we’re proud to play a key role in supporting the maritime industry’s shift towards cleaner energy.”
