Global Energy Trading successfully conducts first ever B100 biofuel bunkering in Singapore

Global Energy Trading Pte Ltd (GET), a Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) licensed bunker supplier, on Friday (7 June) announced it successfully conducted the first ever B100 bunker supply in Singapore.

About 290 metric tonnes (mt) of B100 biofuel, composed of 100% UCOME, was delivered to bulk carrier NORD TAURUS by MT MAPLE, an IMO Type II chemical bunker tanker.

The MAPLE is owned by Global Energy Group and operated by MPA licensed bunker craft operator Stellar Shipmanagement Pte Ltd.

The operation was completed with its partner Mitsui & Co. Energy Trading Singapore Pte Ltd (METS) and global shipping company NORDEN.

Marine biofuel offers a promising eco-friendly fuel solution, capable of cutting CO 2 emissions by 80-90% on a well-to-wake basis, all without requiring any modifications to existing engine infrastructure, according to GET.

GET said the significant achievement also involved the first delivery of B100 using Mass Flow Meter (MFM).

“Prior to the delivery, the MFM was approved by MPA after it met all the testing requirements of the SS 648 bunkering standards using B100 bunker fuel,” the firm said.

Additionally, an Electronic Bunker Delivery Note (eBDN) was also satisfactorily issued for the delivery and relevant supply information was also transmitted to the MPA.

“Global Energy reaffirms its dedication to providing top-notch bunkering services, expanding its offerings beyond traditional marine fuels to include a comprehensive range of Biofuels and Methanol solutions,” the firm added.

“We hope to be part of our partners journey as they navigate towards a low-carbon future.”
