Oil major BP Marine is to supply marine biofuel in Singapore, reports Ship&Bunker.
The move follows successful trials with the fuel involving its own ships, the company told maritime news provider Tradewinds. Biofuel is a blended product of oil-derived fuel oil and other material.
Biofuel supply
A BP-operated tanker bunkered BP Marine’s biofuel (compromising fatty acid methyl esters blended with ISO-compliant very low sulphur fuel oil) in Singapore en route for Australia. The company was quoted as saying by the report that it was able to “meet the demand/quantity size that our customers were looking for.”
Ship&Bunker reported earlier this month that Japanese shipping firm MOL is to trial biofuel bunker fuel. The blend of biofuel to be supplied by Chevron Singapore to MOL is with a 20-24% component of used cooking oil methyl ester with very low sulfur fuel oil.
