Transport of methanol and dimethyl ether
Thread Content
How are methanol and dimethyl ether generally transported? Are there any ship services?
Both of these can be transported by ship; it mainly depends on the volume required per year and whether it is cost-effective.
700,000 tons of methanol + 200,000 tons of DME
For this volume, shipping by sea is recommended; you need to consider whether to build a new dock or rent one.
We have our own dock, but what is the typical tonnage of the ships?
It depends on the logistics route: where it comes from and where it is going, whether it is imported from abroad; also, the flight conditions at the location where the project is situated, and whether there is any intention in the future to use other types of transportation for the delivery of materials.
