China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) has received an order for three 8,600 unit capacity liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) from South Korea's H-Line Shipping Company. 

The ship will be developed and designed by Shanghai Merchant Ship Design And Research Institute (SDARI), a subsidiary of CSSC, and built by Guangzhou Shipyard International Company Limited (GSI).

To date, SDARI has received a total of 55 PCTC newbuilding orders in 2022; the company claims it has a global market share of 67% for the new PCTC newbuilding market.

The new PCTC ship type developed and designed by SDARI mainly uses LNG fuel for its main engine, generator and boiler fuel, and adopts a super-Panamanian wide body as well as a minimum ballast water design to improve ship transportation efficiency.

Compared with the previous ships of the same class, the CO2 emissions of these new ships have dropped by more than 30%, and the Ship Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) meets the requirements of the third stage of IMO ahead of schedule. 

Shanghai Shipbuilding Institute has also independently developed and designed the first ammonia fuel-powered 7,000 unit capacity PCTC in China to meet the demand for clean fuels in the shipping industry. The ship design has officially obtained the Approval-in-Principle (AiP) certificate issued by DNV. 

In addition, the SDARI  is also intensively developing PCTC powered by methanol fuel, and is committed to contributing more solutions to the low-carbon development of the global automobile transportation and shipping industry.

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.”
