MV Frontier was in the middle of a voyage from Australia and India and the bio-VLSFO stem was delivered during its port call in Singapore last month.

The delivery was managed by GoodFuels and Japanese trading firm ITOCHU and a licensed bunker supplier in Singapore.

GoodFuels has partnered with Japanese trading firm Itochu Corporation to develop a biofuel supply chain across Singapore, Japan and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

Under the partnership, ITOCHU manages logistics, blending and distribution of biofuel blend and GoodFuels is responsible for sourcing, technical expertise and sales.

NYK is part of a biofuel pilot project launched by the Singapore-based Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) and other 18 industry partners. It involves 12 vessels that will bunker B30 biofuel blends in Singapore, Rotterdam and Houston.
