Methanex Corporation is a Canadian company that supplies, distributes, and markets methanol worldwide. Methanex is the world’s largest producer and supplier of methanol to major international markets in North and South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
The company’s methanol is used to make industrial and consumer products including windshield washer fluid, plywood floors, paint, silicone sealants, and synthetic fibers.
Methanex is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and operates production sites in Canada, Chile, Egypt, New Zealand, the United States, and Trinidad and Tobago. Regional marketing offices are located in Belgium, Chile, China, Egypt, Korea, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Its global operations are supported by an extensive global supply chain of terminals, storage facilities, and the world’s largest dedicated fleet of methanol ocean tankers. Methanex’s majority-owned subsidiary, Waterfront Shipping Limited, is a global marine transportation company that operates a fleet of 30 ocean tankers.
The tankers have an average age of 10 years, are all fitted with double hulls and zinc-coated tanks, and range in size from 3,000 to 49,999 dead-weight tons. The most recent additions to the fleet have nitrogen generation capabilities enabling them to inert the cargo tanks fully without compromising the integrity of sensitive cargo.
