Monjasa partners FAMOIL for biofuel supply in Peru

The duo delivered 510 mt of B30-VLSFO marine biofuel blend to a dry bulk carrier in Peru’s Port of Callao, marking the first ISCC-certified biofuel supply in the South American country.

Global marine fuel supplier Monjasa and Peru-based bunker supplier Fuel and Marine Oil (FAMOIL) supplied the biofuel blend to a Cargill-operated carrier, Infinity Sky, in February.

The B30 blend was made up of 30% fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and 70% VLSFO.

With the new collaboration, Monjasa and FAMOIL aim to set up a scalable second-generation marine biofuel supply chain in the region. They claim to have a supply capacity of 12,000–15,000 mt/month for International Sustainability Carbon Certification (ISCC)-certified biofuel blends in Peru.

The duo will supply VLSFO and HSFO-based biofuel blends and pure biodiesel B100 in the region.

Monjasa’s new biofuel operations in Peru will complement its existing biofuel supply in Cartagena, Colombia. Last year, Monjasa announced the launch of biofuel supply operations in Cartagena, where it has a supply capacity of 5,000-7,000 mt/month for biofuel blends.
