Singapore: Pertamina International Marketing and Distribution selects ADP Clear e-BDN solution

Pertamina International Marketing and Distribution Pte. Ltd. (PIMD) has selected ADP Clear to implement as its electronic Bunker Delivery Note (e-BDN) solution in Singapore, according to ADP Clear on Sunday (6 April). 

This will ensure full compliance with Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore’s (MPA) digital bunkering standards while optimising workflows across its fleet.

ADP Clear said more than 8,000 bunker deliveries have been processed on its platform.

Part of Indonesia’s Pertamina group and focused on marine fuel trading, PIMD aims to actively contribute to Singapore’s marine and bunker industry advancements, promoting technological innovations and sustainable practices to enhance the overall competitiveness and environmental responsibility of the sector.

ADP Clear will provide PIMD with real-time visibility and enhanced transparency, allowing the organisation to optimise its delivery processes and uphold the highest industry standards. 

This approach accelerates PIMD’s growth trajectory to 200,000 metric tonnes (mt) of bunker deliveries per month across five barges, and paves the way for additional expansion and increased market share.

Justin Tan, Trading Manager of PIMD, said: “By adopting ADP, we can enhance operational control, streamline our bunkering process, and reinforce trust within the maritime ecosystem.”

“Moreover, with ADP’s dedicated global support team available around the clock, we have the confidence that expert assistance is always within reach. We look forward to our continued collaboration with ADP in shaping the future of digitalised bunkering.” 

Eunice Low, Business Development Manager at ADP Clear, said: “ADP Clear is proud to collaborate with PIMD in its digital transformation, enhancing efficiency and transparency in bunkering operations.”

“By leveraging ADP’s technology, PIMD is streamlining its supply chain, seamlessly managing over 50 deliveries per month, while driving operational excellence at scale. Together, we are setting new benchmarks for digital innovation in the industry.”

Manifold Times previously reported MPA adding ADP Clear to its list of approved digital bunkering solutions for the implementation of electronic bunker delivery note (e-BDN) in the republic. 

Effective 1 January 2024, ADP Clear joined Angsana Technology Pte Ltd, ZeroNorth (BTS Pte Ltd) and Bunkerchain in MPA’s whitelisted Digital Bunkering solutions providers.

South Korea: S-Oil launches B30-VLSFO bio bunker fuel supply

South Korean petroleum and refining company S-Oil on Wednesday (22 July) said it has started supplying B30 very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO), as the company seeks to support shipping’s decarbonisation efforts and growing demand for lower-carbon bunker fuels.

The company said its B30 VLSFO contains 30% sustainable biofuel blended with conventional VLSFO and can be used without requiring modifications to existing vessels, enabling shipowners to comply more readily with emissions regulations from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the European Union (EU).

S-Oil said it has established an integrated operating system in the Ulsan region covering the entire value chain, from feedstock procurement and blending to supply. The system combines VLSFO produced at its Onsan refinery with biofuel production facilities and storage infrastructure in the Ulsan region, allowing the entire process to be carried out within a single logistics hub.

According to the company, the integrated supply chain reduces transportation requirements during production while improving supply efficiency and reliability.

S-Oil also highlighted Ulsan Port as a strategic location for marine biofuel supply, noting the port has strong demand for bio-bunker fuels, particularly from car carriers, enabling prompt and stable deliveries to key customers.

An S-Oil official stated: “In the bio-marine fuel market, not only product quality but also securing a stable supply of raw materials and an efficient supply system are important competitive advantages.

“Based on our existing bunkering business capabilities and the excellent supply infrastructure in the Onsan area, we plan to supply stable and competitive low-carbon fuel.”
