GoodFuels has successfully supplied sustainable marine biofuel to NYK’s bulk carrier MV Frontier Explorer, in the first such delivery to a maritime client since the company opened its Singapore office.
MV Frontier Explorer was refuelled with biofuel in a blend with VLSFO during its port call to Singapore on 5 July, en route from Australia to India.
The delivery was the first to be managed under GoodFuels’ partnership with ITOCHU, which was announced in May. ITOCHU was responsible for logistics, blending and distribution of the biofuel blend, whilst GoodFuels handled sourcing, technical expertise, and sales, including working closely with NYK’s technical and commercial team.
GoodFuels also worked with a licensed bunker supplier to carry out the bunkering.
Speaking on the announcement, Jing Xieng JX Han, General Manager, GoodFuels Asia Pacific, said:
We anticipate that demand for sustainable marine biofuels will continue to grow in Asia, particularly as the global efforts to decarbonise shipping intensify. At GoodFuels, we are committed to playing a significant role in accelerating the energy transition in the transport sector
