Singapore biofuel introduction NYK’s bulker Frontier Explorer was the first to receive biofuel from the new supply arrangement.
GoodFuels in partnership with ITOCHU reports they have launched operations in Singapore just three months after forming a partnership to service the market.
The delivery, which was the first to be managed under GoodFuels’ partnership with ITOCHU and the company’s first in Asia, was a blended drop-in with VLSFO. The fuel was loaded aboard a 12-year-old, 179,376 dwt bulker, the Frontier Explorer during its port call on July 5 while it was sailing from Australia to India.
GoodFuels recently created the biofuel supply chain in Singapore, positioning the company to supply its clients in multiple locations and accept more orders for sustainable marine biofuel in the future. The biofuel is made entirely from waste or residues that cannot be used for food and feed, and the biofuels gain International Sustainability & Carbon Certification.
The first bunkering in Singapore also marks an expansion of a long-term relationship with NYK. The Japanese shipping company has been using biofuels from GoodFuel since January 2019 in Rotterdam.
