ExxonMobil and Evergreen Line have successfully completed a commercial marine biofuel oil bunkering in the Port of Singapore.
Evergreen Line’s vessel, Ever Ulysses, received ExxonMobil’s marine biofuel oil blend via a ship-to-ship (STS) transfer in Singapore waters before heading to the discharge port.
The resulting blend reportedly meets the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) fuel standard of 8217:2017, with the exception of FAME content, which complies with EN 14214.
The marine biofuel oil is a combination of a conventional 0.50 per cent sulphur fuel with up to 25 per cent waste-based fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).
