Singapore | December 3, 2025 – Hawks Singapore, the international office of Hawks Group, a leading global supplier and trader of marine fuels, has achieved International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), one of the world’s most trusted sustainability standards. This milestone allows Hawks Singapore to trade certified sustainable biofuels worldwide, reinforcing its commitment to low-carbon shipping solutions.
Meeting Global Compliance Demands
Maritime regulators across the globe are tightening decarbonization rules, making fuel traceability and sustainability verification essential. Ship operators increasingly need to demonstrate the origin, production pathway, and greenhouse-gas profile of the fuels they use. ISCC certification has become a critical benchmark for regulatory compliance, particularly in Europe, where instruments such as FuelEU Maritime and the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) penalize non-compliant fuels.
With certification in hand, Hawks Singapore can provide vessels across major trade routes with regulation-ready sustainable biofuels, supporting shipowners navigating a complex and evolving sustainability landscape. In its statement, Hawks Energy framed the development as a core component of its long-term environmental and commercial direction:
“This step underlines Hawks Group’s commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. Gaining ISCC certification marks an important next stage in our ESG strategy.”
Strategic Alignment with Singapore’s Alternative Fuels Push
Singapore, the world’s largest bunkering hub, is rapidly adopting alternative fuels. Biofuel bunker sales at the port rose 68.5% in 2024, from 524,000 tonnes to 883,000 tonnes, reflecting growing global demand and regulatory urgency. Hawks Singapore’s ISCC certification positions the company to supply these fuels to the vessels, supporting Singapore’s role as a gateway for sustainable marine fuels.
Advanced Biofuels: Immediate Solutions for a Decarbonizing Fleet
Hawks Singapore focuses on advanced biofuels derived from sustainable waste- and residue-based feedstocks. These fuels offer one of the most practical near-term solutions for reducing emissions across the existing global fleet without requiring vessel modifications.
To ensure reliability and traceability, Hawks Singapore collaborates closely with reputable suppliers and guides customers through the complexities of emerging fuel regulations. While conventional fuels such as VLSFO and MGO remain part of its portfolio, the company increasingly prioritizes low-carbon alternatives, aligning with the maritime sector’s transition toward cleaner energy.
A Global Network Built on Service, Compliance & Growth
The ISCC certification complements Hawks Group’s broader global strategy. From its headquarters in the Maldives, the company maintains offices in Dubai, Singapore, Monaco, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Colombo, Istanbul, and London. This extensive network enables consistent service, regulatory compliance, and supply-chain integrity across major maritime corridors.
In 2024, Hawks Group traded more than half a million metric tonnes of bunkers and cargo globally, demonstrating operational scale and readiness to support the marine industry’s shift toward sustainable fuels.
