TotalEnergies Marine Fuels finished the initial refuelling of a COSCO Shipping Lines containership with aquatic biofuel, noting TotalEnergies’ initial biofuel bunkering procedure for a containership in Singapore.
On July 11, 2022, the 4,250 TEU COSCO Houston container vessel was bunkered with TotalEnergies-supplied biofuel in Singapore waters, using ship-to-ship transfer. VLSFO (Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil) combined with 20% second-generation, waste-based as well as ISCC-certified UCOME (Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester), was bunkered using a procedure that was enabled with assistance from the Maritime as well as Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) as well as the participation of neighborhood companions such as storage tank storage space firm, Vopak Terminals Singapore at Penjuru.
From a well-to-wake analysis, the biofuel will certainly lower roughly 17% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) exhausts compared to traditional gas oil. The biofuel has actually been eaten throughout the Container vessel’s trip to Jakarta, Indonesia.
