The company refuelled the NYK vessel with biofuel blended with very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) during a port call to Singapore while en route from Australia to India.

The delivery is part of a partnership announced in May between GoodFuels and Itochu. This partnership aims to scale up the use of sustainable marine biofuel in Singapore, Japan and the Asia-Pacific region.

Under the agreement, Itochu is responsible for logistics, blending and distribution of the biofuel blend, while GoodFuels is responsible for sourcing, technical expertise and sales.

The company first delivered biofuel to an NYK-owned vessel in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in January 2019.

GoodFuels Asia-Pacific general manager Jing Xieng JX Han said: “It’s important to underline just how significant this first refuelling with NYK is for GoodFuels’ presence in Asia.

“Just a few months after commencing operations in Singapore, and hot on the heels of our recent agreement with Itochu, we are proving to the market that we are ready to supply our sustainable biofuels solutions to meet growing demand in the region.”

The agreement between GoodFuels and Itochu includes offering access to sustainable marine biofuels in all territorial waters, waterways and harbours of Singapore.
