[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a chimney area structure of a large methanol fuel container ship, the chimney area structure includes a main deck layer structure, an A deck layer structure, a B deck layer structure and a C deck layer structure. The chimney area structure is provided with a fuel room 16 on the starboard side, the bottom of the fuel room is located on the main deck, and the top of the fuel room is located on the C deck. A methanol daily tank 1 is provided inside the fuel room, and a methanol clarification tank 2 is provided on the top of the methanol daily tank. A methanol equipment preparation room 3 is provided in the engine room below the main deck, and the methanol equipment preparation room is located directly below the methanol daily tank. The methanol daily tank and the methanol equipment preparation room are connected by a pipeline. The methanol equipment preparation room is provided with an independent structural air duct 15, which runs through the fuel room and extends to above the C deck. An exhaust pipe channel 7 is installed in the middle of the chimney area structure, and the exhaust pipe channel runs through the main deck in sequence. The exhaust pipe passage is composed of a plate layer structure, an A deck layer structure, a B deck layer structure and a C deck layer structure, and continues to extend upward. There are engine room fan sheds 6 on the left and right sides of the exhaust pipe passage. The left engine room fan shed is located in the A deck layer structure and the B deck layer structure respectively, and the right engine room fan shed is located in the A deck layer structure, the B deck layer structure and the C deck layer structure respectively.
