Malaysia-listed Fast Energy Holdings Berhad post 58% lower net loss on year for the third quarter ended 30 September (Q3 2022) over increase in revenue mainly from the Group’s oil bunkering and petroleum trading business segment.

The firm recorded a net loss of RM 1.16 million (USD 0.26 million) in Q3 2022 compared to a loss of RM 2.76 million for the corresponding quarter in 2021, according to latest figures.

Group revenue from continuing operations for Q3 2022 was 14.9% higher at RM 55.88 million compared to RM48.61 million in Q3 2021; this increase in revenue was mainly due to increase in the Group’s oil bunkering and petroleum trading business segment, it notes.

Proposed increased acquisition of CCK Petroleum Sdn Bhd

To further enhance the earnings of the Group, Fast Energy which currently owns a 35% stake in Malaysian bunkering firm CCK Petroleum Sdn Bhd (CCKSB) intends to acquire another 175,000 ordinary shares [representing a 35% equity interest] of the company.

Upon completion of the proposed acquisition, Fast Energy will hold 70% equity interest in CCKSB and accordingly, CCKSB will become a subsidiary. This proposed acquisition was approved by the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 30 August 2022.

“Maritime trade had rebounded in the year 2021 in tandem with recovery in merchandise trade and world output. While medium term outlook remains positive, growth is subject to mounting uncertainties over inflationary concerns in the world economy,” it explains.

“Nevertheless, maritime transport remains an essential sector for the continued delivery of critical supplies and global trade during the recovery stages from a global pandemic.

“Premised on the above and the growing demand for marine fuel oils as global trade and shipping activities gain momentum following reopening of economies, Management is cautiously optimistic on the overall prospects of this business segment barring any unforeseen circumstances.”

MOL inks bio-LNG bunker fuel supply deals with Titan and Axpo for car carriers in Europe

Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) on Thursday (18 July) said it has signed new supply agreements in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean region to expand the use of bio-LNG marine fuel on MOL-operated LNG-fuelled car carriers.

Titan, part of Amsterdam-based Molgas, will continue to supply bio-LNG fuel in Northwest Europe, while Axpo will take charge of supply in the Mediterranean region.

MOL said the agreement makes it possible for its company to supply bio-LNG fuel for automobile carriers in the Mediterranean region, specifically Port of Malaga and Barcelona in Spain, following the bio-LNG fuel supply agreement in Western Europe, which commenced in March last year.

The bio-LNG fuel to be supplied in this initiative has a lifecycle carbon intensity (carbon dioxide emissions per unit of energy consumption) of -15 g-CO2/MJ or less, from production through consumption. Furthermore, this bio-LNG fuel has obtained International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC-EU). 

“Through this supply agreement, MOL has established a framework that ensures a continuous and stable supply of bio-LNG fuel not only in Northern Europe but also in the Mediterranean,” the company said.

As part of the group’s efforts to adopt alternative fuels and achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is utilising LNG-fuelled vessels as a bridge solution to facilitate the transition to carbon-neutral fuels such as bio-LNG and synthetic LNG (e-methane).

In 2025, MOL signed a bio LNG fuel supply agreement in Northwest Europe with Titan, part of the Molgas, and MOL has continued this bio LNG fuel supply agreement with the same company in 2026 as well.
