SINGAPORE — A Singapore shipping firm performed on Monday what it called the world's first simultaneous refueling of a container ship with bio-methanol while it was being loaded with cargo in the port.Simultaneous loading and refueling hastens a vessel's turnaround time, according to Shmuel Yoskovitz, chief executive of Singapore-based X-Press Feeders.With extra time, the ship can sail at a slower pace, reducing fuel use and leading to lower costs and emissions, he added.
