The MT Diligence is the first dual-fuel LNG bunker tanker to join its bunker tanker fleet in Singapore. It will be used to deliver VLSFO and biofuel blends to ships in Singapore.

The company operates a large fleet of bunker tankers in Singapore. At least 18 bunker tankers have delivered HSFO, VLSFO and LSMGO grades for TFG Marine in Singapore over the past two weeks, according to the number of fuel quality samples recorded by ENGINE.

The vessel, like other bunker tankers in Singapore, is fitted with a mass flow meter (MFM). The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has mandated the installation of MFM for bunker delivery vessels since 2017.

Singapore-based shipping and tanker firm CBS Ventures constructed and operates the vessel for TFG Marine.
