Singapore | December 30, 2025 – In a major end-of-year move for the Singapore bunkering sector, Golden Island Pte Ltd has officially achieved the ISCC EU Trader with Storage certification. The announcement, made today, marks a critical regulatory milestone that positions the firm as a verified supplier of sustainable marine fuels just as the industry enters the 2026 compliance cycle.
Strengthening the Green Fuel Chain
The International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC EU) is a globally recognized system that ensures the sustainable production and traceability of fuels. By securing the “Trader with Storage” scope, Golden Island is now authorized to:
- Supply B100 and Green Methanol: The company can provide these low-carbon fuels with verified Sustainability Proofs (PoS), essential for shipowners to claim carbon reductions.
- Ensure Chain of Custody: The certification guarantees that sustainable fuels (Biofuels and Green Methanol) are tracked and handled without contamination from conventional fuels throughout the supply and storage process.
- Compliance with RED III & FuelEU Maritime: The certification directly supports partners in meeting the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) and the FuelEU Maritime requirements, which mandate lower greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity for energy used on ships.
A Proven Track Record of Innovation
Founded in 1982, Golden Island has spent over 40 years evolving alongside the Port of Singapore. Today’s certification is the latest in a series of strategic breakthroughs:
- Pioneering Biofuel Deliveries: In late 2025, Golden Island successfully delivered nearly 4,000 metric tonnes of B100 Biofuel to Maersk vessels (Estelle Maersk and Maersk Amazon) in Singapore.
- First Mover in Methanol: The firm is one of only three companies awarded a five-year Methanol Bunkering License by the MPA (effective Jan 1, 2026).
- Asset Readiness: Golden Island operates a specialized fleet of four IMO Type II chemical tankers, Golden Antares, Golden Sirius, Golden Centaurus, and Golden Carina, specifically equipped for low-carbon fuel operations.
