Steel Cutting Ceremony for Anna Cosulich

Our Marine Energy team is proud to announce a key milestone in its fleet expansion with the steel cutting ceremony of Anna Cosulich, the first of four methanol-ready IMO II bunker tankers.  The ceremony took place at Taizhou Maple Leaf Shipyard in China, in the presence of Diana Mok, Managing Director of Fratelli Cosulich Bunkers (S) Pte Ltd. At the same shipyard, we are also building Maya Cosulich, an IMO II bunker tanker and methanol dual-fuelled.

At 7,999 DWT, Anna Cosulich is the first in a series of four next-generation bunker tankers designed to support the maritime industry’s shift towards cleaner energy solutions. Built to the highest environmental and operational standards, she will be methanol-ready, reinforcing our commitment to decarbonization and sustainable fuel alternatives.

The vessel is set for delivery in the first quarter of 2026. She will be equipped with two mass flow meters, MarineLINE coating and all equipment necessary for methanol bunkering, as per local regulations. At the same shipyard, we are also building another innovative vessel: Maya Cosulich, an IMO II bunker tanker and methanol dual-fuelled.

“With this modern series of four bunker tankers, we aim to offer flexibility to our customers in the complex alternative fuels landscape. These vessels can adapt to support our future charterers through the various phases of the fuel transition,” says Guido Cardullo, Head of Fratelli Cosulich Marine Energy. Built to the highest environmental and operational standards, Anna Cosulich will be methanol-ready, reinforcing our commitment to decarbonization and sustainable fuel alternatives.
