This event marks a significant milestone in the company’s continuous commitment to investment and advancement within the maritime industry.
Fratelli Cosulich Bunkers Singapore commenced its physical bunker supply business in 2005, which was a major milestone in the Group’s global bunkering operations. Since then, the company has expanded and modernized its local fleet, now comprising five bunker tankers, one IMO2 chemical bunker tanker Marta Cosulich, and another under construction set for delivery by the end of 2025.
The group’s dedication to bolstering its presence in the port of Singapore, recognized as the world’s largest bunkering hub, remains firm. Investments in new assets, designed to accommodate alternative fuels, align seamlessly with Singapore’s ambitious aims for maritime decarbonization while ensuring its continued competitiveness on the global stage. Fratelli Cosulich Group expresses its honor in contributing to Singapore’s success and pledges support to the Maritime Port Authority in realizing its ambitious goals.
Marta Cosulich, boasting a capacity of 8,700m3, exemplifies the company’s proactive stance toward sustainable shipping. As the maiden vessel in their fleet equipped to transport methanol, it signifies their readiness to embrace future fuels. The commitment to environmental responsibility extends beyond methanol, with a dedicated focus on LNG and other emerging technologies aimed at mitigating the ecological footprint of operations.
During the ceremony, Marta Cosulich, CEO and Board Member of Fratelli Cosulich Group, served as the vessel’s godmother, symbolizing the fusion of the company’s rich heritage with its innovative future. The presence of Marta Cosulich underscores the family’s commitment to steering the company toward greater heights while maintaining its values and traditions.
A heartfelt appreciation is extended to the exceptional team at Fratelli Cosulich Bunkers Singapore, whose firm dedication and tireless efforts brought Marta Cosulich to fruition.
