GoodFuels stated: “This new strategic partnership will enable the two companies to build the market and develop the supply chain necessary for wider adoption of marine biofuel.”
Itochu will oversee logistics, blending and distribution activities while GoodFuels will manage technical expertise, brand marketing, sourcing and production.
The companies will take equal responsibilities for sales and marketing as well as the scaling capabilities in production and sourcing.
Initially, the collaboration will deliver sustainable marine biofuels to all Singaporean territorial waters, waterways and harbours, in addition to customers transiting the Strait of Malacca.
