ONE trials B24 produced from UCOME

In Singapore, conducted as part of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation’s (GCMD) pilot project to establish a quality, quantity and GHG abatement assurance framework for drop-in biofuels, the M/V MOL ENDOWMENT was refuelled with 992 metric tons of marine biofuel product at the Port of Singapore, on December 21, 2022. The vessel, deployed on ONE’s Japan Straits Malaysia (JSM) service, fully utilized the biofuel in 20 days. Biofuel consumption started on January 7, 2023, after the vessel left the port of Kobe in Japan, passing Keelung, Hong Kong and then sailed to Southeast Asia. The biofuel was fully consumed on January 26, 2023, on its return voyage to Japan from Port Klang.
The biofuel used was B24, a blend of Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester (UCOME), and Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO). The biofuel blend was supplied by Chevron, and it is considered a sustainable fuel that is similar to petroleum-derived marine fuels in terms of its operational application. SGTraDex supported the transaction of bio marine fuel between Chevron and ONE.

Accompanying the transaction were also exchange of documents such Certificate of Quality, Bunkering Sales Confirmation, Bunker Delivery Note, Bunkering Sales Invoice (Delivery) and supporting documents like Mass Flow Meter (MFM) receipts, MFM seals checklist, meter recording form and International Sustainability and Carbon (ISCC) Certification, all of which securely exchanged through SGTraDex between ONE and Chevron.
