KPI OceanConnect first biofuel delivery for WAN HAI Lines

The biofuel, certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), is expected to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 20% compared to conventional marine fuels, contributing to WAN HAI Lines’ ambitious environmental targets. This delivery forms part of a broader, customised alternative fuels strategy, developed in collaboration with KPI OceanConnect, to support the carrier’s decarbonisation goals.

KPI OceanConnect has been a pioneer in the biofuel bunkering space, enabling deliveries across more than 100 ports globally. By working closely with clients and bunker suppliers, the company has helped to aggregate demand and ensure that biofuels meet stringent industry standards. The demand for biofuel bunkering is projected to more than double by 2025, driven by its potential to help ship operators comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.

Jesper Sørensen, head of alternative fuels and carbon markets at KPI OceanConnect, commented: “WAN HAI Lines has been a valued partner for many years, and we are proud to have facilitated their first biofuel delivery. Our global reach and expertise in alternative fuels enable us to support our clients in advancing their sustainable fuel strategies. Partnerships will be critical in achieving net zero targets, and KPI OceanConnect is committed to aggregating demand and connecting buyers with suppliers to build the low-carbon fuel infrastructure required for the future.”

WAN HAI Lines expressed its commitment to sustainable shipping, stating: “We are proud to announce our first biofuel supply in collaboration with KPI OceanConnect at the Port of Singapore. Biofuels are a key pillar in our strategy to accelerate the transition to decarbonisation and meet our emissions reduction targets. We are grateful to KPI OceanConnect for their professionalism and expertise, and we look forward to continuing our work with all partners and stakeholders to drive progress on our sustainability goals.”
