Jiangnan Shipyard, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) has recently started constructing the first of two 7,600 capacity LNG dual-fuel ocean-going vehicle carriers built for AnJi Logistics, a subsidiary of SAIC Motor, according to CSSC on on Wednesday (24 August). 

This series of car carriers was developed by Jiangnan Shipyard and designed by Shanghai Merchant Ship Design And Research Institute (SDARI).

The ship was designed with a total length of 199.9 metres, a moulded width of 38 metres, a moulded depth of 15.5 metres, a structural draft of 10.2 metres, and a service speed of 19 knots. 

According to CSSC, the vessels were dual classed to DNV and China Classification Society (CCS) standards. 

The ships’ key equipment systems (WinGD X-DF main engine and iCER system, LNG containment and gas supply system, ro-ro equipment system) are all manufactured by CSSC companies under its own scientific research and development programmes.

SDARI customised the vessels according to AnJi Logistics’ requirements including incorporating hydrogen fuel cells into the design. 

“After completion and delivery, it will become China's largest, world-leading, and localised ocean-going vehicle carrier, which can meet the growing export business needs of SAIC and other domestic and foreign-owned brands of new energy vehicles,” stated CSSC. 

Manifold Times previously reported Jiangnan Shipbuilding entered into a newbuilding contract with CSSC and AnJi Logistics for two 7,600 capacity LNG dual-fuel ocean-going vehicle carriers.

Once constructed, the newbuilding duo will be the largest dual-fuel Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTCs) in the world.

Biofuel supplier GoodFuels, FincoEnergies’ sustainable fuels brand, has stopped all biofuel deliveries in Singapore with immediate effect, according to Jing Xieng Han, General Manager of GoodFuels Asia Pacific, on Wednesday (6 November). 

GoodFuels first announced the opening of its first office in Singapore in February 2022. The Singapore office was GoodFuels’ second office and its first outside of Europe. 

At the time, GoodFuels said Singapore was chosen as the target for its first international expansion because of its importance to the global shipping industry and its leading position as a key bunkering hub, with mature bunkering infrastructure that will support the delivery of marine biofuel.

Jing said FincoEnergies has decided to consolidate GoodFuels operations in the Asia Pacific and ARA regions. 

“Whilst the GoodFuels team will continue its efforts to decarbonise global shipping from the Amsterdam office, we will be stopping all biofuel deliveries in Singapore with immediate effect,” she said in a social media post. 

“Our Amsterdam team remains dedicated to furthering the decarbonization of global shipping 'the Good Way' and I wish them continued success.”

Jing also announced that she will be departing GoodFuels Asia Pacific, effective 6 November as well. 

“It has been a privilege to contribute to the integration of biofuels into the bunkering sector in Singapore over the past three years,” she said.

“The rapid evolution of the industry has been mind-blowing, and I fondly recall addressing numerous queries on the technical feasibilities of biofuels as bunker fuels when I first launched our Singapore office in early 2022.”

Chimbusco Pan Nation completes first B24 bio bunker fuel delivery in Singapore

Hong Kong-based marine fuel oil supplier Chimbusco Pan Nation Petro-Chemical (CPN) on Wednesday (6 November) completed the supply of 1,000 metric tonnes of ISCC-EU Certified B24 marine biofuel for YM WITNESS, a containership of Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp on 16 October. 

“This also embarks on CPN’s new journey to arrange supplying marine biofuel in Singapore,” the firm said in a social media post. 

B24 marine biofuel is a blend of 24% B100 biodiesel and Marine Fuel Oil, which significantly reduces carbon emissions and lowers its carbon footprint. Such product aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and reduces environmental impact. 

“CPN is committed to be the frontrunner in the transition towards more sustainable marine fuel options. This biofuel delivery reinforces CPN’s commitment to realizing eco-friendly port energy solutions and global decarbonisation goals,” it added.

Titan completes LNG bunkering operation in Port of Zeebrugge

LNG bunker fuel supplier Titan on Wednesday (6 November) said it has completed a LNG bunkering operation in the Port of Zeebrugge. 

Titan supplied the newly built Peony Leader Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) using Optimus – one of its LNG bunkering vessels (LBV).

“This was the maiden voyage for the Peony Leader, as well as the first time it bunkered LNG while in service. The Optimus’ crew closely supported throughout the process, providing guidance and information to the seafarers onboard the vehicle carrier,” it said in a social media post. 

“Our commercial team also visited CSP Zeebrugge to meet the new client, Chimbusco. With a greatly increasing number of PCTC newbuilds being LNG dual-fuelled, we look forward to many more successful LNG bunkering operations with Chimbusco and other shipowners in this segment.”
