Marine fuel sales scaled new highs in the world’s largest bunker hub of Singapore during 2025, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said on Tuesday, supported by resilient global trade and fuel offtake.

Singapore’s bunker sales totalled 56.77 million metric tons in 2025, according to the MPA, surpassing a previous record of 54.92 million tons in 2024.

Container throughput climbed to 44.66 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in 2025, also hitting a new high, while annual vessel arrival tonnage grew to a record of 3.22 billion gross tons (GT).

The uptick in bunker sales was also supported by robust demand for high-sulphur marine fuel, which saw volumes rising for a fifth consecutive year, based on MPA data.

Meanwhile, some shipowners lifted more alternative marine fuels to support their emission reduction plans. The use of alternative marine fuels rose to 1.95 million tons in 2025, compared with 1.35 million tons in 2024, MPA said.

Both marine biofuel blends and liquefied natural gas (LNG) sales were up for a third consecutive year, based on data from the MPA published for these grades starting from 2022.

MPA will open applications for new LNG bunker supply licences from January 14 to better fulfil growing demand, it added.
