Yang Ming’s YM Wonderland receives biofuel in Port of Singapore

Marine fuels supplier Monjasa has completed its first biofuel supply operation in the Port of Singapore by delivering a biofuel blend to Yang Ming’s containership YM Wonderland.

As informed, the supply took place on July 24, 2024. The 14,220 TEU containership received a total volume of 2,000 metric tonnes of B24 blend.

Monjasa’s ship Radiance delivered the biofuel, as revealed in the company’s social media post.

“We have been waiting for opportunities to engage with biofuels deliveries ourselves, and therefore it made sense for us when Yang Ming started asking for biofuels,” Morten Jacobsen, Managing Director Asia said.

“The quality and origin of the biofuels is essential to shipowners, which is the reason why we became an ISCC-certified marine fuels supplier – and our expectation is that next year we’re going to see more and more demand here in Singapore,” Morten added.

A year ago, Monjasa announced further expansion in Asia by commencing its first supply operations in the Port of Singapore with three new tankers. All three tankers are SIRE vetted and bring experienced crews when it comes to handling ship-to-ship bunkering operations in the Port of Singapore, the firm emphasized.

Recently, Monjasa wrapped up its first biofuels supply off Peru. The firm supplied a total of 510 tonnes of B30 marine biofuels to the Cargill-operated dry bulk carrier, Infinity Sky. The operation marked the first ISCC-certified biofuels supply on the Pacific Coast of South America and the establishment of a scalable second-generation marine biofuels supply chain, the firm highlighted.
