TFG Marine, the international marine fuel joint venture founded by Trafigura, Frontline and Golden Ocean, on Tuesday (5 November) announced its first digitalised marine fuel delivery in Singapore using electronic bunker delivery notes (e-BDNs).
In early November, at the Port of Singapore, its team supplied VLSFO bunker fuel to Pacific Basin Shipping Limited’s Illovo River bulk carrier, marking the first of four bunkering deliveries this month where this new technology has been successfully deployed.
“After months of collaboration with SGTraDex and ZeroNorth, this milestone represents a significant leap in transforming the bunker delivery process—streamlining administrative tasks, enhancing digital documentation and data collection, and contributing to a more efficient and connected bunkering industry,” TFG Marine said in a social media post.
“We’re especially proud to be pioneering this advanced, end-to-end technology ahead of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)’s mandatory standards set for April 2025, with plans to expand our rollout to other global locations in the coming months.”
“This initiative not only solidifies TFG Marine’s role as a leader in setting new industry standards but also reinforces Singapore’s position as a premier global bunkering hub.”
Manifold Times previously reported TFG Marine announcing it will introduce ZeroNorth’s e-BDNs solution for its customers in Singapore by the end of the year.
Kenneth Dam, TFG Marine Global Head of Bunkering, made the announcement during the International Trade and Fuel Market Trends panel discussion at the 23rd Singapore International Bunkering Conference (SIBCON).
