Propelling Maritime Decarbonisation with TR 140

The Singapore Standards Development Organization on Wednesday (1 April) released a caselet covering TR140:2025, which is a technical reference specification for marine biofuels.

TR 140:2025 — Specification for marine biofuel aims to assist bunker suppliers and buyers in ascertaining that marine biofuel is acceptable for use and is appropriately stored and handled by the receiving vessel and the bunker craft operator.

It is a Technical Reference covering the quality for marine biofuel, the corresponding test methods, and the specifications for each parameter. It complements the existing international marine fuel quality standard ISO 8217:2024 while including a wider range of bio-feedstock.

The caselet Propelling Maritime Decarbonisation with TR 140 Perspectives from Stakeholders shares the perspectives of six stakeholders across the marine biofuel value chain who have adopted the TR 140:2025. The entities are:

  • Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)
  • Alpha Biofuels
  • Bp
  • NYK Shipmanagement (NYKSM)
  • Ocean Network Express (ONE)
  • Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD)
