The delivery saw OCI Fuels and barge operator UniBarge supply green methanol to to X-Press Feeders using the Electronic Bunker Delivery Note (eBDN) solution.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis marks the first of many digital green fuel deliveries – and points to the broader change happening in the bunker industry,\u201d said Nicolai Bendixen, managing director at ZeroNorth Bunker.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the industry adapts to new fuels, regulatory pressure and growing expectations around transparency, solutions like eBDN will play a key role. We\u2019re proud to support this transformation and grateful to partner with OCI Fuels in making it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Digital transition<\/strong><\/p>\n ZeroNorth Bunker said that eBDN solutions digitalise the administrative processes, helping streamline bunkering operations and improving efficiency and transparency during the process.<\/p>\n This may be the first fully digital delivery of green methanol, but it\u2019s not the first time the eBDN has been used to bunker the green fuel in port.<\/p>\n The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has been using digital bunkering since November 2023, making Singapore the first port in the world to do so. <\/p>\n In May 2024, MPA conducted the first simultaneous methanol bunkering and cargo operation<\/a> at Tuas Port using the MFM system for methanol and digital bunkering.<\/p>\n
