TotalEnergies Marine Fuels and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) have completed the first biofuel bunker operation for a vehicle carrier in Singapore.
The operation was completed with the support from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.
The MOL-operated car and truck carrier, Heroic Ace, was refuelled by TotalEnergies-supplied biofuel on 11 June 2022 via ship-to-ship transfer, while the carrier performed cargo operations simultaneously.
The biofuel has been consumed during the carrier’s voyage to Jebel Ali, in the United Arab Emirates.
The biofuel blend used in this trial composed of Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) blended with 20% second-generation, waste-based and ISCC-certified Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester (UCOME).
