Propelling Maritime Decarbonisation with TR140
Today, the Singapore Standards Development Organization have released a caselet covering the TR140:2025, which is a technical reference specification for marine biofuels.
TR140 closely aligns with the VPS thinking and approach relating to the quality control requirements for the use of Biofuels as a marine fuel. As such, VPS fully supports the adoption of TR140 and the additional benefits it brings in overcoming challenges in maritime decarbonization.
Key benefits of TR140:
Ensure the quality of marine biofuel by applying globally recognised test methods.
Provide guidance on the use of marine biofuel, e.g. storage handling, fuel consumption, engine performance, maintenance, and operation.
Support regulatory compliance with the use of marine biofuels, and by lowering carbon intensity and minimising contamination.
Reduce environmental impact and strengthen sustainability.
