HVO100, or pure hydrotreated vegetable oil, was sourced from Vopak Penjuru Terminal and transported to the cruise ship via the IMO Type II chemical tanker Maple, operated by Global Energy group.  

The Maple’s classification as an IMO Type II chemical tanker allows it to carry biofuel blends up to B100 (100% biofuel), while other bunker tankers (oil tankers) are allowed to carry biofuel blends with a maximum concentration of 25% bio-component, as per the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) rules.
