The company supplied 700 mt of biofuel made up of 100% used cooking oil methyl ester (UCOME) to South Korean logistics company Hyundai Glovis’ pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) Glovis Cosmos last week.

The biofuel was delivered by Singapore-based Global Energy Group’s IMO type 2 chemical bunker tanker Maple. The operation marked the first B100 biofuel delivery by TotalEnergies Marine Fuels in Singapore.

The Maple’s classification as an IMO type 2 chemical tanker allows it to carry biofuel blends up to B100 (100% biofuel), while other bunker tankers (oil tankers) are allowed to carry biofuel blends with a maximum concentration of 25% bio-component, as per the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) rules.
