Methanol is increasingly attractive as a maritime fuel, offering significant reductions in NOx, SOx, and particulate emissions. With established infrastructure and ease of handling, it provides a practical pathway toward cleaner shipping.

However, methanol introduces safety considerations. It is a highly flammable liquid with toxic properties, and its vapours can accumulate to create hazardous conditions if not properly monitored.

Safe operations require a clear understanding of these risks, together with reliable gas detection solutions designed for different environments and exposure scenarios.

Explore the key considerations and how to ensure safe and efficient methanol operations.
