International laboratory testing services firm Eurofins recently expanded operations to include surveying, sampling and testing packages for methanol bunker fuel within its product portfolio.

The comprehensive quality control and assurance testing of methanol is conducted according to International Methanol Producers and Consumers Association (IMPCA) specifications.

Bryan Quek Sze Wei, General Manager of Eurofins Mechem Pte Ltd, shared with Manifold Times the advanced analytical services will support clients in the shipping sector, allowing for more accurate and efficient testing of methanol as a bunker fuel.

“We are thrilled to offer these enhanced capabilities and believe it marks a significant step forward in our commitment to providing top-tier, comprehensive solutions to our clients in the industry,” he said.

“With green marine fuels emerging in the market, new testing services to verify fuel quality are also needed to be in sync in the race for maritime decarbonisation.”

“With Singapore expecting to conduct its first methanol bunkering in Q3 2023, Eurofins aims to be ahead of the curveball in preparation for the republic embracing alternative marine fuels.”
