First bunkering of methanol in Kiel
A demonstration bunkering and trial of methanol was completed with the 'Mein Schiff 7' on Aug 31 at the Ostsee Quay in Kiel, which was also the first cruise ship to be built methanol-ready. According to TUI Cruises and the companies supplying and bunkering the methanol, it was a critical test to demonstrate that the systems exist to use the emerging fuel for the cruise sector. The 'Mein Schiff 7' was delivered in 2024 with designs to be the first cruise ship to be methanol-ready. At the time it was waiting for additional parts, but anticipated it could proceed with tests by 2026. While it was using low-sulfur diesel for propulsion, it was now able to proceed with the demonstration bunkering. The cruise ship was supplied with 25 cubic meters of methanol from renewable feedstocks. MB Energy provided the fuel, which was loaded from a truck operated by Johs. Martens. The fuel will be used primarily for boil operations onboard.

Defective antenna replaced during unscheduled yard stop in Kiel
On Aug 24, the 'Mein Schiff 7' had a short call at the dock of the TKMS Shipyard in Kiel after leaving the Ostsee Quay at 5 p.m. after a passenger turnaround. The unscheduled stop at the shipyard had been added to the itinerary at short notice. The cruise ship moored at the shipyard just minutes after casting off, arriving at the berth around 5:20 p.m. The reason for the brief shipyard stop was a defective antenna on board, that required replacement. At 7.30 p.m., the ship finally left Kiel enroute to Tallinn, where it arrived on the morning of Aug 26. The unscheduled shipyard stop in Kiel had no impact on the scheduled arrival.
