DS Norden, global provider of ocean-based freight services, on Wednesday (22 May) said it completed the “first ever” 100% biofuel (B100) bunkering in Singapore. 

After successfully trialling a B24/VLSFO blend on Panamax vessel NORD TAURUS, the firm said it was entrusted by vessel owner ITOCHU Corporation to do the first B100 bunkering out of Singapore with support from bunker supplier Mitsui & Co. Energy Trading Singapore Pte. Ltd. (METS) – a Mitsui & Co., Ltd. subsidiary.

“It is a great milestone for DS NORDEN to be able to carry out the first ever B100 bunkering in Singapore, supporting our ambition to decarbonise our customers’ supply chains,” says Henrik Røjel, Head of Decarbonisation & Climate Solutions at NORDEN.

“The week before, we did the first B100 bunkering on our Capesize NORD STEEL in Rotterdam, further adding to our aspirations to be a frontrunner within the decarbonisation of shipping. Thanks to the owner and supplier for a strong collaboration.”
