Glander International Bunkering, a renowned global leader in marine fuel trading, has partnered with SK Trading International to facilitate the successful delivery of 250 metric tons of Biofuel B24 in Singapore. This strategic collaboration represents a significant milestone in the maritime industry’s ongoing transition toward decarbonization and the adoption of cleaner energy solutions.
Milestone Delivery Highlights Collaboration
The delivery, made possible through SK Trading International, underscores the supplier’s reputation for high-quality fuel solutions in Korea and Singapore. The initiative aligns with SK Trading International’s long-term strategy of establishing itself as a global energy transition leader.
Dimitris Mertikas, Key Account Manager at Glander International Bunkering, emphasized the importance of this achievement, stating “In this landscape, our Key Accounts team has positioned itself next to our customers, supporting them with the help of our trusted suppliers on the journey to new fuels every step of the way – from trial to adoption, one ship at a time. We will continue working closely with both our suppliers and clients to achieve our mutual environmental goals.”
This collaboration signals the increasing demand for alternative fuels and the role partnerships play in meeting these growing needs, especially in the world’s largest bunkering hub, Singapore.
Biofuels: The Bridge to a Sustainable Maritime Future
Biofuels, particularly those like B24, have emerged as pivotal in the transition to sustainable marine fuels. A key advantage lies in their compatibility with existing ship engines, allowing operators to reduce carbon emissions without incurring significant retrofit costs. This attribute makes biofuels a preferred choice as shipping companies gear up for the Fuel EU Maritime regulations, which will come into effect on January 1, 2025.
In addition to B24, Glander International Bunkering has delivered advanced biofuel blends such as B100 HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) to seismic survey vessels and first-time biofuel clients, showcasing their leadership in supporting innovative fuel adoption.
Extensive Global Biofuel Supply Network
With an expansive network of suppliers, Glander International Bunkering is positioned to deliver second-generation biofuels in over 100 ports worldwide. This capability reflects the company’s commitment to meeting the maritime industry’s evolving fuel requirements as biofuel demand surges globally.
Glander’s ability to ensure reliable delivery across key ports enables shipowners and operators to comply with environmental standards while maintaining operational efficiency.
Driving Decarbonization Through Partnerships
As the shipping industry prioritizes decarbonization, collaborations like that between Glander International Bunkering and SK Trading International are set to become more frequent. These partnerships not only help achieve environmental objectives but also position Glander International Bunkering as a trusted leader in the transition to cleaner fuels.
This collaboration with SK Trading International underscores the company’s dedication to fostering partnerships that drive sustainable progress in maritime fuel solutions.
