Marine fuels firm, KPI OceanConnect, and Neste, the Finnish oil company, have completed the first delivery of renewable diesel, HVO100, for the cruise industry in Singapore. MY Renewable DieselTM,, sourced from the Vopak Penjuru Terminal, was supplied by the Global Energy-operated bunker barge, Maple, to a cruise vessel at the Singapore Cruise Terminal in November. KPI OceanConnect worked closely with the cruise ship’s engineering team to ensure engine compliance.
Neste’s Ee Pin Lee, head of Commercial APAC, Renewable Products, said: “This first supply of Neste MY Renewable Diesel to the marine sector in Asia-Pacific is a significant milestone and demonstrates the versatility of the product across a wide range of applications where it can replace fossil diesel. It is an effective solution for enabling the marine sector to be more sustainable.”
Jesper Sørensen, head of Alternative Fuels and Carbon Markets at KPI OceanConnect, commented: “By working closely with Neste and Global Energy, we were able to offer high-quality biofuel to our client, laying the groundwork for further fuel uptake and decarbonisation progress. This successful delivery is a testament to how partnerships can help advance the industry’s green transition.”
