The 6,500-dwt IMO Type 2 tanker Pearl Lavender will begin operations at the Port of Singapore in April 2025. The vessel can carry methanol, biofuel blends up to B100 (100% biofuel), as well as conventional fuels like HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO.

An IMO Type 2 chemical tanker is designed for transporting moderately hazardous chemicals according to International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards.

All four vessels are under a long-term charter agreement with Singapore’s Consort Bunkers.
