Singapore bunker supplier Golden Island Pte Ltd on Friday (28 November) said its four IMO Type II chemical tankers to supply low-carbon methanol as marine fuel will be ready for operations in the first quarter of 2026.
Golden Island is one of the three companies that will receive a licence by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) to supply methanol as a marine fuel in the Port of Singapore.
The methanol bunkering licence is valid for five years, commencing from 1 January 2026.
Golden Island’s four tankers are Golden Antares, Golden Sirius, Golden Centaurus and Golden Carina.
“Golden Island has been very focused and committed to its decarbonisation roadmap; when the market outlook was still unclear in 2023, Golden Island had already committed to four IMO Type II chemical tankers to supply low-carbon methanol as marine fuel,” Golden Island said in a statement.
“We will continue to align ourselves to support scaling methanol bunkering not just in Singapore, but at a global scale; while supporting Singapore’s ambition to be a sustainable multi-fuel bunkering hub.
The company said it is collaborating global partners to form supply chains that can bring value to its clients.
“We are excited to begin methanol bunkering for our clients with the newly awarded methanol bunkering licence,” Golden Island added.
