Vitol Bunkers takes delivery of first specialized biofuel bunker barge in Singapore

In Singapore, Vitol Bunkers has taken delivery of the “Marine Future”, its first specialized bunker barge in Singapore, strengthening its position in Asia’s expanding biofuel bunker market.

The addition of this specialized IMO type 2 notation bunker tanker to the V-Bunkers fleet will uniquely make it possible to supply biofuel blends including B24, B30 and up to B100, depending on customer specifications.

Built in China, Marine Future is 102.6m in length and has the capacity to carry about 7,000 MT of biofuels.

The current fleet of bunker tankers in Singapore are classified as ‘oil tankers’ and are therefore restricted to a maximum of 25% bio component in biofuel blends. This new bunker tanker has no such restriction, hence can deliver bunker fuels consisting of 100% bio component (B100).
