Bunker operations firm makes biofuel blend deliveries

V-Bunkers, which is part of Vitol’s Singapore bunker operations company, has announced  that its barges have recently made several deliveries of biofuel blended VLSFO.
Mike Muller, Head of Vitol Asia, said: “We are delighted to have demonstrated in multiple deliveries that we have the capability to bring to market these bespoke blended bunker supplies containing renewable energy.
“We appreciate the support of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) in facilitating these initial, trial deliveries. Bio-fuel bunker blends represent an ‘available-right-now’ decarbonisation option for shipowners and we are committed to making these blends more readily accessible to our shipping customers.”
Quah Ley Hoon, Chief Executive of MPA, added: “We are pleased to facilitate Vitol’s successful delivery of their first bio-fuel blended VLSFO to Singapore. As the world’s top bunkering port, we will continue to work with industry partners like Vitol to promote and provide the industry with greener marine fuels options in our drive towards more sustainable shipping.”
