Singapore’s licensed LNG bunker supplier FueLNG on Thursday (15 May) announced the successful completion of its 400th LNG ship-to-ship (STS) bunkering operation in the republic.

FueLNG, a joint venture between Keppel Offshore & Marine and Shell Eastern Petroleum Pte Ltd, marked the milestone with bunker tanker FueLNG Bellina successfully refuelling BYD Shenzhen, the world’s largest LNG-fuelled car carrier, at Singapore anchorage during its maiden voyage.

“With a capacity of 9,200 vehicles and equipped with dual-fuel LNG propulsion, the BYD SHENZHEN represents the next generation of low-emission maritime transport,” it said in a social media post. 

Shell said it supported BYD Shenzhen on its maiden voyage as the supplier of the LNG bunker fuel. 

“Like all LNG dual fuel vessels, BYD Shenzhen is on the pathway to net zero emissions. She can take bio-LNG, and in the future e-LNG, in her fuel mix for further emission reduction and regulatory compliance,” it said in a separate social media post.

Hong Kong-based bunker supplier Chimbusco Pan Nation Petro-Chemical (CPN) on Friday (16 May) said it has set a record for China’s largest B24 marine biofuel bunkering operation.

CPN said it delivered 6,300 metric tonnes (mt) of B24-VLSFO in Hong Kong to container ship XIN LOS ANGELES on 15 May. 

The supply exceeded CPN’s previous record of 5,500 mt delivered to the same ship in February 2025.

“This collaboration reinforces CPN’s ability to execute large-scale marine biofuel bunkering with precision and reliability,” the company said in a social media post.

“By consistently supplying large volumes of B24 marine biofuel, CPN supports reduced carbon emissions and sustainable shipping practices globally.”

Dubai-based energy trading and bunker supply firm Tigonic on Thursday (15 May) said it has launched its physical bunker supply operations at Khorfakkan, UAE by barge and has completed its first successful deliveries of bunker fuel in the past few days.

The company said the move enhances Tigonic’s regional supply capabilities with barge-based delivery of Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) and Marine Gas Oil (MGO) along the vital East Coast of the UAE.

 Tigonic also supplies bunker fuel at the port of Sharjah in UAE by trucks and may expand into other ports in the region in the foreseeable future.

Tigonic’s operational expansion into physical supply with its dedicated bunker barge enables the company to deliver marine fuels directly at anchorage. 

“This launch marks a significant milestone in our service evolution,” said the team at Tigonic.

“With physical supply now live at Khorfakkan, we are elevating our ability to provide fast, flexible, and reliable marine fuel solutions to the global fleet.”

This expansion follows Tigonic’s recent achievement—the successful lifting of multiple cargoes of High-Sulfur Fuel Oil (HSFO) from the SASREF refinery in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, and fuel oil of Bahrain origin for their customers in the Singapore Straits.
