Fratelli Cosulich launches methanol, biofuel bunker barge in Singapore

Fratelli Cosulich Group on Thursday (30 May) announced the inauguration of its new bunker barge Marta Cosulich, in Singapore. 

Fratelli Cosulich Bunkers Singapore commenced its physical supply business in 2005. Since then, the company has expanded and modernised its local fleet, now comprising five bunker tankers, one IMO2 chemical bunker tanker (Marta Cosulich), and another under construction set for delivery by the end of 2025.

The Group said it was committed to strengthening our presence in the port of Singapore, the world’s largest bunkering hub.

“Marta Cosulich, with its 8.7000m3, reflects our proactive approach to sustainable shipping. As the first ship in our fleet ready to carry methanol, it shows we are ready to serve the industry with fuels of the future,” it said.

“We are dedicated to leading the way in environmental responsibility, not only with methanol but also through our commitment to LNG and other emerging technologies aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our operations.”

Marta Cosulich, CEO and Board Member of Fratelli Cosulich Group, served as the godmother of the vessel during the ceremony.

Delivered from the Zhejiang Shenzhou Sunshine Heavy Industry Co. yard in China, Marta Cosulich is an IMO2 Chemical tanker, fully equipped to carry methanol and biofuels up to B100.
