Danish shipowner Norden aims to replace its current bunker volumes in Singapore with a 30pc biofuels blend (B30) by 2027, the company told Argus.

This comes after Norden purchased a minority stake in Danish-Indian biofuels producer Mash Makes. Makes produces biofuels from Indian-origin nutshell residues and its technology can produce biofuels from different biomass waste and residues, according to Norden.

The firm is currently conducting tests on land-based engines and expects a full-scale trial on a Norden vessel early next year.

Norden has trialled fatty acid methyl esters (Fame)-based biofuels for bunkers and is exploring other fuel options such as methanol and ammonia to decarbonise shipping.

Singapore is also positioning itself to play a more prominent role in the alternative marine fuels industry. The city-state has hosted trials involving a variety of alternative bunker fuels, including the recent milestone of conducting the first-ever ship-to-containership bunkering of bio-methanol on 27 July.
