Bunker fuel supply operation

GAC Bunker Fuels on Wednesday (19 January) said its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions calculations have been verified by audit and certification services provider Bureau Veritas UK Limited as part of its goal to be net carbon zero by 2030.

Carbon emissions are classified into categories or “scopes”. GAC Bunker Fuels is assured for indirect emissions from electricity and air-conditioning under Scope 2, and other indirect emissions that occur along the value chain, particularly associated to business travel and the use of sold products under Scope 3 were verified. The bunker company does not have Scope 1 direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.

Kelly Rump, GAC Bunker Fuel’s Head of Sustainability, says: “Knowing what our emissions are today marks an important step towards emissions reduction and offsetting with the aim of achieving zero oil-based bunker sales and net carbon zero by 1 January 2030.”

Engaging customers

The company is working with existing and new clients to help them on their decarbonisation journey, starting with Scope 1 emissions (i.e. purchased fuel from GAC Bunker Fuels) by advising which suppliers offer alternative fuels, such as biofuel or LNG, globally.

Furthermore, this will give their customers an option to buy carbon credits to offset its fuel procurement where requested to offer as such.

Martyn McMahon, GAC Bunker Fuels’ Global Commercial Manager, adds: “The market is in transition. Suppliers require a guaranteed demand to fund their projects, and customers must know what supplier projects are underway to plan their future procurement. GAC Bunker Fuels is uniquely positioned to help customers and suppliers alike with their energy transition because of the relationship we have with them.”

Group-wide efforts

GAC Bunker Fuels’ emissions calculations assurance is in-line with directives set-out in the Group’s Roadmap to Sustainability where all GAC offices are to measure and report their carbon emissions by end of 2022 based on UN SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) 12 – Climate Action. The Group has committed to be net carbon zero by 2050.

Bursa Malaysia-listed Straits Energy Resources Berhad (Straits) on Monday (21 September) proposed to undertake a reduction of MYR 90 million (USD 22 million) of its issued share capital to offset accumulated losses of the company and strengthen its financial position.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company said the proposed capital reduction entails the reduction of the issued share capital of Straits via the cancellation of the company’s paid-up share capital, which is substantially lost or unrepresented by available assets. 

The corresponding credit of MYR 90 million arising from the proposed exercise will be utilised to partially offset the accumulated losses while any balance credit will be credited to the capital reserve account which would serve as an additional credit buffer to set off future losses of the company.

The MYR 90 million was determined by the Board, after taking into consideration amongst others, the unaudited accumulated losses of the company for the financial year ended 30 June 2026 of MYR 101.91 million.

The proposal will not have any effect on the number or percentage of shares held by the substantial shareholders of the company as it does not involve any issuance, cancellation or transfer of shares held by the shareholders.

“Barring any unforeseen circumstances and subject to all required approvals being obtained, the proposed capital reduction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027,” the company added.
