LNG bunker fuel supplier Titan on Thursday (17 October) has slammed energy giant Shell for its recent decision to order 10 conventional marine-fuelled product tankers fitted with scrubbers.

Titan said the move seemed “to contrast the agenda” both companies were pushing for, to make the maritime industry cleaner by investing in bunkering infrastructure to accommodate the decarbonisation of shipping.

“Shell, are you forfeiting your right to be a leader of the energy transition? With great power comes great responsibility,” it said in a social media post. 

“You carefully positioned yourself as an industry leader in the movement towards more sustainable and cleaner marine fuels. With your size, you hugely influence the industry and are a strong advocate for LNG as a marine fuel,” it said, adding that it was “surprised” when it saw a news report on the move. 

Given Shell’s leadership role, Titan said the decision raised questions about how it aligned with the company’s commitment to decarbonisation. 

“We’re genuinely interested in hearing more about your strategy for balancing these choices and how you view the LNG pathway in the bigger picture,” it said. 

It also said that Shell, adding more scrubber-fitted conventional fuel tankers to the current fleet sends a “strange signal” to the industry. 

“At Titan, we remain fully committed to driving this transition forward, offering a reliable supply of LNG, bio-LNG, and soon e-LNG to those already leading the way. Our focus remains on putting clean fuel into every ship,” Titan said. 

“Let’s continue pushing the boundaries and make sure shipping doesn’t take a step back.”

Singapore: FueLNG achieves 400th LNG bunkering operation milestone

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.

Tigonic launches physical bunker fuel supply operations by barge at Khorfakkan

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.
