CBL International Limited, the listed entity of Banle Group, on Tuesday (30 December) announced that it has completed Xiaomo Port’s first-ever LNG bunkering operation, serving BYD in Shenzhen through a physical supplier.
The service was facilitated in collaboration with China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), which supported this inaugural bunkering at the port.
The company said the milestone strategically diversifies CBL’s revenue streams and expands its sustainable marine fuel offerings beyond its existing biofuels portfolio.
Against the backdrop of the global shipping industry accelerating decarbonisation, the company said LNG serves as a mainstream marine clean energy source, capable of significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 20% – with near-zero emissions of sulfur oxides and particulate matter- and lowering fuel costs by approximately 25% to 30%.
CBL added the initiative supports the maritime industry’s transition toward cleaner energy solutions in line with regulations such as FuelEU Maritime and IMO 2030/2050 targets.
“This is a strategic step in our journey to become a comprehensive marine energy services partner,” said Dr. Teck Lim Chia, Chairman and CEO of CBL International.
“We are grateful to BYD and CNOOC for their trust and collaboration.”
CBL International is a bunkering services facilitator, serving nine of the world’s top twelve container liner companies.
