Genoa, Italy – Fratelli Cosulich, a leading name in the maritime sector, has taken another significant step in its commitment to sustainable shipping with the successful launch of the *Lucia Cosulich*. This vessel marks the second methanol-ready bunker vessel in a pioneering new series, launched on May 2nd at the Taizhou Maple Leaf Shipyard.
The *Lucia Cosulich* is engineered from the keel up to operate seamlessly with methanol, boasting advanced technical systems that underscore a pragmatic approach to the ongoing energy transition. Its design prioritizes operational efficiency while ensuring readiness for future alternative fuels, aligning with the industry’s push towards decarbonization.
As the second of a planned quartet of IMO II methanol-ready vessels, the *Lucia Cosulich* plays a crucial role in Fratelli Cosulich’s broader strategy. This initiative aims to cultivate a flexible, future-oriented fleet capable of adeptly meeting both current operational demands and evolving international fuel standards. The launch ceremony, attended by the project team, partners, and stakeholders, not only celebrated the ship’s transition from construction to water but also highlighted the continuous progress of the Group’s Marine Energy Unit in advancing alternative fuel solutions.
This latest achievement follows the successful launch of the series’ first methanol-ready bunker tanker, the *Anna Cosulich*, which also took place at the Taizhou Maple Leaf Shipyard on February 4th. These strategic investments firmly position Fratelli Cosulich at the forefront of the green shipping movement, demonstrating a clear path towards a more sustainable maritime future.
