TotalEnergies Marine Fuels completes first biofuel bunker term delivery in Singapore

TotalEnergies Marine Fuels has completed its first refuelling of a Hapag-Lloyd container vessel in Singapore with used cooking oil methyl ester-based marine biofuel (UCOME).
This inaugural bunker operation marks the start of a term supply agreement between the two companies, which commits TotalEnergies to provide very low sulphur fuel oil blended with 24% second-generation, waste-based and ISCC-certified UCOME to Hapag-Lloyd’s fleet. This B24 biofuel blend will reduce approximately 20% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions compared with conventional fuel oil.
Hapag-Lloyd’s 15,000 TEU container vessel, Afif, took on 2,000 MT of biofuel on 20 January. The ship-to-ship biofuel transfer was made possible with the services rendered by Jurong Port Universal Terminal (JPUT). JPUT also took on 100% UCOME bio-component into their storage tanks for the first time, which further underscores the significance of this operation.
With a fleet of 252 modern container ships and a total transport capacity of 1.8 million TEU, Hapag-Lloyd is one of the world’s leading liner shipping companies.
JPUT offers 2.33 million cubic metres of petroleum storage capacity and has been providing integrated business solutions.
