Golden Island delivers two B100 stems in Singapore

Singapore-based bunker supplier Golden Island has delivered 100% biofuel (B100) to two Maersk container vessels — the Estelle Maersk and the Maersk Amazon.

The ships received 900 mt and 2,900 mt of B100 in October and November, respectively, supplied via the company’s IMO Type II bunker tanker, Golden Sirius. This B100 is produced entirely from used cooking oil methyl ester (UCOME).

Despite such deliveries, B100 remains a niche fuel in the Singaporean bunker market. Sales reached only about 1,800 mt in October, falling from 4,500 mt in September, according to the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA).

Golden Island was also recently awarded a methanol bunkering licence, one of three companies to receive approval. The licence will be valid for five years starting 1 January 2026.
