European foreword
This document (prEN 18071:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 15 “Inland
navigation vessels”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request M/581 addressed to CEN by the
European Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these
requests for its Member States.
This European Standard specifies safety requirements for methanol bunkering within the meaning of
European Parliament and Council Directive (EU) 2016/1629 of 14 September 2016 laying down
technical requirements for inland waterway vessels.
This document on the bunkering of methanol is based on research outcome of the Workshop CEN/WS
106 ‘Specification for bunkering of methanol’ in which was developed the CWA 17540 ‘Ships and
marine technology – Specification for bunkering methanol fuelled vessels’. Next to this as a reference is
used the existing standard EN ISO 20519 ‘Ships and marine technology – Specification for bunkering of
liquefied natural gas fuelled vessels’.
Introduction
Methanol also known as methyl alcohol is a hydrocarbon fuel that can be made from non-fossil sources
and is very clean burning when compared to conventional marine fuels. Therefore methanol is
increasingly being used as sustainable fuel for vessels for environmental reasons. Its usage is expected
to expand significantly in the future. Therefore this need to standardize the bunkering requirements for
inland navigation vessels to a reasonable degree, so that vessel operators have the tools to select vessel
fuel providers that meet set safety and fuel quality standards, in order to conduct methanol bunkering
operations safely.
1 Scope

navigation vessels. The various scenarios for the bunker facility operator concern land, truck and vessel
(barge). It concerns design, dimensions and technical requirements for the transfer of methanol,
including the nozzle, connection, male and female flanges and failsafe features.
This document also specifies the process and procedures for the bunkering operations, responsibilities
and risk assessment scope, taking into consideration the specific hazards in handling and bunkering
methanol fuel. Next to this, the requirement for the methanol provider to provide a bunker delivery
note and training and qualification of personnel involved.
