ExxonMobil and Evergreen in biofuel bunkering success
On 1 April 2023 Evergreen Line’s vessel, Ever Ulysses, received ExxonMobil’s marine biofuel oil blend via a ship-to-ship transfer in Singapore waters before heading to the discharge port.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Evergreen Line for this successful delivery of marine biofuel oil in Singapore,” said Rebecca Monk, Asia Pacific sales director, marine and aviation, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific.
“We remain focused on advancing lower GHG emission solutions, including a goal of supplying 200,000 barrels per day of lower GHG emission fuels by 2030,” she added.
The marine biofuel oil is a combination of a conventional 0.50% sulphur fuel with up to 25% waste-based fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).
The resulting blend meets ISO 8217:2017,1 with the exception of FAME content, which complies with EN 14214.
“We appreciate the unstinting support from Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore for our biofuel trial programme carried out in collaboration with ExxonMobil and the vessel’s classification society,” said Molly Mok, director of Evergreen Marine (Asia), adding that the company aims to be carbon-neutral by 2050.
ExxonMobil is already supplying marine biofuel oil in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp region and Singapore.
