Italian maritime transportation group Fratelli Cosulich Group announced the inauguration of a new vessel, Marta Cosulich equipped to carry methanol and biofuels up to B100, in the Bay of Singapore. This event marks a significant milestone in Fratelli Cosulich continuous commitment to investing in a modern and efficient fleet.
The vessel was built by the Chinese yard Zhejiang Shenzhou Sunshine Heavy Industry and delivered on May 9, 2024.
Fratelli Cosulich Bunkers Singapore commenced its physical supply business in 2005, which was a major milestone in the Group’s global bunkering operations. Since then, the company has expanded and modernized its local fleet, now comprising five bunker tankers, one IMO2 chemical bunker tanker (Marta Cosulich), and another under construction set for delivery by the end of 2025.
The Group is committed to strengthening its presence in the port of Singapore, the world’s largest bunkering hub. The investments in new assets, designed to carry alternative fuels, align with Singapore’s ambition to be a leader in maritime decarbonization while maintaining its competitive edge.
Marta Cosulich, with its 8.7000m3, reflects the company proactive approach to sustainable shipping. As the first ship in its fleet ready to carry methanol, it shows the company is ready to serve the industry with fuels of the future. Fratelli Cosulich said they are dedicated to leading the way in environmental responsibility, not only with methanol but also through our commitment to LNG and other emerging technologies aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
Marta Cosulich, CEO and Board Member of Fratelli Cosulich Group, served as the godmother of the vessel during the ceremony. Her presence underscores the connection between our company’s rich history and its innovative future.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the exceptional team at Fratelli Cosulich Bunker Singapore. Their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts have brought Marta Cosulich to life, ensuring it will be managed with the utmost care and expertise.
