The Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) has signed a shipbuilding contract with Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited on March 18, 2026, to construct a 3,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT) methanol dual-fuel platform supply vessel.
The vessel will be the first in SCI’s fleet designed to run on green methanol, an emerging alternative marine fuel that helps reduce emissions without requiring major infrastructure changes. Valued at about $39 million, the project will be executed as per a mutually agreed schedule.
