The overall biofuel bunker sales in Singapore for the first eight months of the year stood at 491,000 mt, a substantial decrease from the 1.03 million mt in the same period last year.
Meanwhile, LNG bunker sales remained relatively stable, totaling 59,000 mt in August, although the cumulative sales for the first eight months reached nearly 436,000 mt, up from 353,000 mt a year earlier. B100, or 100% biofuel, bunkers were sold for the fifth consecutive month, with around 800 mt in August, down from approximately 1,400 mt in July.
Notably, there were no sales of methanol or ammonia bunkers for the sixth consecutive month and the entire year so far.
