Singapore's port handled a record volume of shipping containers in 2025, reflecting increased demand for maritime logistics despite global trade uncertainty. Biobunker sales in Singapore reached a record 1.36 million metric tons, up 54.4% year-over-year.

December saw a 44.6% month-over-month increase in biobunker sales, although Q4 sales dropped 42.3% quarter-over-quarter and 41.2% year-over-year. The implementation of the FuelEU Maritime regulation has spurred interest in marine biofuels from shipowners.
