In addition, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.
[0029] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the marine methanol filling station 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is arranged on one side of the conventional fuel filling station 200, the conventional fuel filling station 200 includes a rotating crane 201, the methanol filling station 100 and the conventional fuel filling station 200 are both installed on the deck 300 of the container ship, and the marine methanol filling station 100 includes a base 1, a plurality of pillars 2, a protective cover 3, a filling pipeline 4, a railing 5 and a support frame 6. Among them, conventional fuel refers to diesel or heavy fuel oil. The above-mentioned arrangement enables the methanol filling station 100 and the conventional fuel filling station 200 to share the rotating crane 201, which can save space.
[0031] The base 1 is installed on the deck 300. The base enables the marine methanol filling station 100 to be installed and used as a whole, keeping the structure compact. In addition, each device is installed on the base 1, and the base 1 can protect the deck 300.
[0032] The bottoms of the plurality of pillars 2 are all mounted on the base 1. The pillars 2 are used to support the protective cover 3.
[0033] The protection cover 3 is installed on the top of the support 2, and a receiving space is formed between the protection cover 3 and the base 1. The protection cover 3 can protect the equipment installed in the receiving space.
[0034] The filling pipeline 4 is arranged in the accommodation space, and the filling pipeline 4 has a filling joint 41. The filling pipeline 4 can be filled with methanol through the filling joint 41.
[0035] The handrail 5 is installed on the base 1, and the handrail 5 and the pillar are arranged at intervals to form an operating space.

[0037] When the methanol filling station 100 is in operation, the filling connector 41 is connected to an external filling hose, and the methanol in the filling hose is input into the hull through the filling pipeline 4 for storage.
[0038] Based on the above-mentioned structural setting, a accommodating space is formed between the protective cover 3 and the base 1, and the filling pipeline 4 is arranged in the accommodating space. The filling pipeline 4 has a filling connector 41, so that the overall structure of the methanol filling station 100 is compact and occupies a small space; the railing 5 is installed on the base 1, and the railing 5 and the pillar are spaced apart to form an operating space, and the operating space makes the operation convenient.
