The first-ever ship-to-ship biomethanol bunkering in Singapore has marked a significant milestone in enabling methanol bunkering operations. Vopak, a renowned name in bulk liquid storage infrastructure, played a crucial role in this groundbreaking event. Their Sakra industrial terminal served as the starting point for the operation, as they safely stored and loaded the biomethanol onto the bunker vessel.
This achievement represents a breakthrough in the maritime industry’s decarbonisation journey, showcasing the potential for low carbon fuels to meet the industry’s needs. Vopak’s expertise in bulk liquid storage infrastructure was instrumental in facilitating this operation and ensuring the safety and efficiency of the bunkering process.
The success of this operation was the result of a collaborative effort, with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, A.P. Moller – Maersk, OCI Global, Hong Lam Marine Pte Ltd, and other partners joining forces. Their combined expertise and resources contributed to the seamless execution of this ambitious project.
Congratulations to all the partners involved in this historic collaboration, as their efforts have laid the foundation for a more sustainable future in the maritime industry.
