Maersk Completes World's Largest Ethanol Bunkering In Singapore
Maersk said on October 19 that the operation was carried out in collaboration with Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) and other partners. It marks the first time ethanol has been bunkered on a retrofitted vessel in Maersk's fleet.
The operation provided insights into fuel sourcing, supply chain readiness, infrastructure requirements and vessel operations associated with using ethanol as a marine fuel.
“The operation builds on Maersk's longstanding commitment to pursuing multiple fuel and technology pathways to support the maritime industry's transition toward decarbonising ocean transportation. Ethanol is emerging as a promising transition fuel because of its global availability, established production and distribution networks, and compatibility with alcohol-enabled engine technologies. When certified and sourced from low-carbon pathways, ethanol can deliver significant greenhouse gas reductions compared with conventional marine fuels,” said the company.
