KPI OceanConnect supplies OOCL with biofuel blend
KPI OceanConnect, a prominent global provider of marine energy solutions, has announced the successful sale and delivery of a B24 biofuel blend to Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL).
The fuel delivery, orchestrated by KPI OceanConnect's team in Singapore and transported by barge, was received by OOCL's container vessel while docked in Singapore.
The delivered fuel comprised a blend of Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester (UCOME) and Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO).
KPI OceanConnect's local team collaborated closely with OOCL to identify a biofuel aligned with their specific requirements.
By bridging the gap between supply and demand for eco-friendly fuels, the teams contributed to Singapore's ongoing biofuel supply development.
The KPI OceanConnect team supervised the blending process to ensure the fuel adhered to precise specifications and was present during the delivery to guarantee the high quality of the specially blended product.
"We are proud to have worked so closely with members of the OOCL team to develop a tailor-made fuel strategy," said KIP OceanConnect global head Jesper Sorensen.
Said OOCL director Michael Xu: "We are pleased to announce that OOCL has been able to use green biofuel in our fleet."
