The B24 marine biofuel blend, made up of 24% biofuel component and 76% LSMGO, was sourced from Singapore-based biofuel producer Alpha Biofuels, Jurong Port said in a social media post.

The biofuel was loaded onto Kenoil Marine’s bunker tanker Kosmos Lily. The delivery details and the ship it plans to supply are unknown, but this could be the first-ever bunkering of bio-LSMGO in Singapore, Jurong Port stated.

The bunker tanker was last seen supplying LSMGO stems for Kenoil Marine as well as for other bunker suppliers in Singapore, according to ENGINE data.

Singapore sold about 79,000 mt of bio-blended bunkers in October. Almost all the bio-blended bunkers sold in the port were VLSFO blended with a bio component – typically B24. Meanwhile, no sales of bio-LSMGO have been recorded by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore in the available bio-blended sales data from January 2022.
