FAQ On Bunkering Of Biofuels For Ocean-Going Vessels In The Port Of Singapore
The SSA’s Marine Fuels Committee is pleased to share that the 2nd edition of the Bunkering of Biofuels for Ocean-Going Vessels FAQ is now available on our website. This was first shared by the Biofuels Working Group at the SSA Biofuel Seminar on 30 August 2024.
As demand for biofuel grows – evident through the MPA’s monthly Singapore bunker sales reports and even our very own SSA 2024 Marine Fuel Survey, it is crucial that the industry is equipped with the knowledge to safely progress the use of this low-carbon alternative fuel onboard ships.
This updated edition of the FAQ focuses specifically on FAME-based liquid biofuels and blends, as this type of biofuel is anticipated to be the most widely adopted within the shipping industry. Recent technical and regulatory developments in biofuels are included as well. The FAQ was first published in August 2022.
