Singapore sold nearly 5,200 mt/day of bio-bunkers in June, a significant leap from around 4,500 mt/day in May, according to preliminary figures from the port authority.

Changes in Singapore alternative fuel sales between April and May:

• Bio-VLSFO sales up from 96,000 mt to 114,000 mt
• Bio-HSFO sales down from 41,000 mt to 39,000 mt
• Bio-LSMGO sales down from 2,300 mt to 2,100 mt
• B100 sales down from 1,900 mt to 1,000 mt
• LNG sales up from 45,000 mt to 55,000 mt

Singapore’s total bio-blended bunker sales surged by 12% in June, reaching 155,000 mt, surpassing March's peak of 146,000 mt.

Of this, approximately 114,000 mt was VLSFO blended with a bio component, typically 24% in Singapore, while 39,000 mt was HSFO blended with biofuel. Bio-blended LSMGO accounted for the remaining 2,100 mt.

For the January–June period, total biofuel bunker sales reached 766,000 mt, nearly three times the 288,000 mt recorded during the same period last year.

LNG sales rose for the fourth consecutive month, reaching a record high of 55,000 mt in June, surpassing the previous high of 52,000 mt set in June last year. Daily LNG sales increased to 1,800 mt, up from 1,400 mt in May.

Total LNG bunker sales for the first half of the year reached 244,000 mt, about 1.15 times higher than the 212,000 mt sold in the same period last year.

B100 (100% biofuel) appeared in the sales data for the third consecutive month, with around 1,000 mt sold in June. No methanol or ammonia bunker sales have been reported so far this year.
