ElbOil Singapore Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Hamburg-based marine fuels trading, broking and hedging house ElbOil GmbH, recently expanded operations by obtaining ISCC EU certification while establishing a new Shanghai representative office and team, learned Singapore bunkering publication Manifold Times.
International Sustainability and Carbon Certification EU (ISCC EU)
The ISCC EU (Scope Trader) certification was obtained by ElbOil Singapore in March 2025, shared Harro Booth, Managing Director of bunker trading firm ElbOil Group.
“ISCC EU for ElbOil Singapore supplements the REDcert accreditation achieved by ElbOil GmbH since 2020,” said Booth.
REDcert has been developed as a quality certification scheme applicable throughout Europe, while ISCC EU certification is suitable for sustainable fuels designated for a variety of markets, including the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Queensland (Australia).
“ElbOil Group has been dealing with green energy for long time,” he noted.
“ElbOil Singapore, as the growing arm of ElbOil Group, has been experiencing increasing queries for sustainable fuels. We are adapting to market demands and aim to provide professional knowledge and service to clients by obtaining both ISCC EU and REDcert certifications.”
Elboil Singapore Pte Ltd Shanghai Rep office
Sherry Shi, Head of Singapore and Chief Representative (China), ElbOil Singapore, meanwhile, introduced her new team members who will support ElbOil Singapore’s operations in China.
Helen Liu, Ella Song, and James Hao [left to right in main photo] will work as Bunker Traders under Ms Shi’s leadership.
“Helen has nearly three years’ of experience as a ship operation supervisor in a shipping company. She has good knowledge of shipping operations and will be an asset to better understand the needs of our customers,” she said.
“Ella worked as an English Editor for two years and is a very good fit with our international team due to her pleasant and outgoing personality.
“James worked for a year experience under a Zhoushan physical bunker supplier handling risk management, market forecast, and barge scheduling. He can contribute when it comes to handling enquiries and operation matters.”
Ms Shi noted Elboil Singapore, which started operations at the republic in 2020, was formed with the objective of being a springboard for the ElbOil Group to further enter the Asian/China market.
This intention led to ElbOil Singapore registering the Elboil Singapore Pte Ltd Shanghai Rep office in Shanghai during November 2024 to establish a better understanding of the local Chinese bunkering market.
“Even though the global economy is slowing down, China still retains the top position in terms of number of vessels owned. Additionally, China also owns the largest container fleet both in terms of vessels and values,” informed Ms Shi.
“The ElbOil Group, a traditional player known by most of the European market, is of the view that it is never too late to develop new markets as part of our group expansion strategy.”
