Singapore announces provisional national quality standard for marine biofuel
In Singapore, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said that it has developed, together with the industry, academia, and relevant government organizations under the national standardization program overseen by Enterprise Singapore, a provisional national quality standard for marine biofuel to support the development of biofuel bunkering.
MPA said it has also developed a framework setting out conditions under which licensed bunker suppliers may supply biofuel within the Port of Singapore to support trials conducted by vessels.
“MPA is also actively looking into the reduction of energy demand which can be pursued regardless of the choice of new marine fuels. This will help shipping companies reduce costs and lower carbon emissions. On alternative fuels, LNG is a transition fuel and Singapore is ready to supply LNG bunker, with a total of 24 ship-to-ship transfer operations in 2021,” MPA said.
