Sing Fuels launches desks to expand offshore and alternative bunker fuel capabilities

Singapore’s homegrown bunker trader Sing Fuels on Thursday (16 April) announced the launch of its dedicated New Fuels and Offshore Desks, expanding its focus on specialised offshore execution and structured alternative fuel readiness. 

The company said the initiative strengthens Sing Fuels’ ability to serve increasingly complex energy requirements as offshore markets remain active and marine fuel pathways continue to evolve globally.

The Offshore Desk will support energy operations across established and emerging offshore regions worldwide.

Leveraging its global presence across more than 350 ports, Sing Fuels will engage in projects where operational expertise, supplier alignment and disciplined credit oversight create measurable commercial value. The desk enhances execution depth in segments that demand precision, coordination, and reliable supply across conventional and transitional fuels.

Complementing this, the New Fuels Desk will oversee supplier integration and commercial preparedness for lower-carbon and alternative marine fuel solutions. As policy direction progresses under the International Maritime Organization’s MEPC framework, Sing Fuels is aligning internal capabilities to support future adoption.

 

The focus is on practical implementation, technical viability, and commercially sustainable fuel pathways that enable customers to navigate the transition with confidence.

The launch builds on the strategic direction established with Sing Fuels’ Sustainability Desk, which defined the brand’s long-term approach toward energy transition and responsible growth. The New Fuels and Offshore Desks advance that progression by strengthening specialised execution in offshore markets while reinforcing readiness for emerging fuel frameworks.

Sanket Naik, Managing Director of Sing Fuels, said: “The New Fuels Desk and Offshore Desk bring sharper execution focus to two complex segments of our business. Offshore activity continues steadily across global markets, while regulatory frameworks around alternative fuels are becoming more defined. 

“New fuels require structured supplier alignment and technical oversight, while offshore supply demands operational precision and disciplined coordination. By establishing dedicated desks, we are building capability ahead of demand acceleration, managing risk proactively, and strengthening commercial control across both conventional and emerging fuel segments.”

PIL's LNG dual-fuel boxship “Kota Elok” arrives in Singapore on maiden call

Singapore-based Pacific International Lines Pte Ltd on Monday (20 July) said its first 13,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel container vessel, Kota Elok, recently made her maiden call to Singapore on 15 July.

As the first of 13 new 13,000 TEU vessels joining its fleet, Kota Elok is equipped to operate on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and low-sulphur fuel oil that helps reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. 

The vessel also incorporated energy-saving features and digital technologies to reduce fuel consumption and enhance operational performance, as well as a bow windshield to improve aerodynamics, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions over the course of long-haul voyages.

“Following Singapore, Kota Elok will continue her voyage on our East Coast Service 1 (ES1) route to South America, calling at ports in Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina before returning to Asia,” the company said in a social media post. 

Kota Elok also became PIL’s first vessel to receive Lloyd’s Register certification for compliance with the IACS UR E26 and UR E27 cyber security requirements.

Developed by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), UR E26 and UR E27 are mandatory cyber resilience requirements for newbuild vessels contracted from 1 July 2024.

CIMC SOE secures order for 12,000-cbm LNG bunkering vessel from Sinopec Clean Energy

China’s Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering Co., Ltd. (CIMC SOE) recently signed a contract with Sinopec (Beijing) Clean Energy Co., Ltd. to build a 12,000-cubic metre (m3) LNG bunkering vessel, according to Chinese maritime media.

The vessel is scheduled for delivery in 2028 and will support Sinopec’s efforts to expand its presence in the marine clean energy sector.

Once operational, the vessel is expected to strengthen Sinopec’s domestic coastal LNG bunkering network and help address gaps in China’s LNG bunkering infrastructure.

With this signing , CIMC Pacific Offshore Engineering’s LNG bunkering vessel orderbook is further strengthened, maintaining its leading position in the global market for small and medium-sized LNG bunkering vessels.

The contract also marked another milestone for CIMC SOE, which has seen a sharp increase in orders and business performance this year amid a surge in domestic LNG vessel demand.

ABS awards AiP to Korean institute for SMR-powered container ship concept design

Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO) on Thursday (16 July) received Approval in Principle (AiP) from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for its concept design of a 15,000 TEU Small Modular Reactor (SMR)-powered container ship utilising Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) technology.

KRISO said the AiP recognises the technical feasibility and safety of its concept design, marking an important milestone toward the development of next-generation nuclear-powered commercial ships.

“This achievement demonstrates international recognition of KRISO’s technological capabilities in the rapidly evolving field of nuclear-powered shipping, supporting the transition toward low-carbon maritime transport,” it said. 

Building on this milestone, KRISO will continue advancing basic and detailed ship design, paving the way for future demonstration and commercialisation of SMR-powered vessels. 

Through continued R&D and international collaboration, KRISO remains committed to strengthening next-generation maritime technologies and contributing to the safe deployment of nuclear propulsion in the maritime industry.
