Hong Kong April 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – On April 14, 2024, Banle Energy International Limited, a subsidiary of the Banle Group (NASDAQ: BANL), a reputable marine fuel logistic company in the Asia Pacific region, in collaboration with PetroChina Fuel Oil Co. Ltd., is delighted to announce the arrangement of B24 biofuel bunkering services for Yang Ming’s vessel, YM Utility, at a port in Yantian, Shenzhen.

By providing Yang Ming with our B24 biofuel bunkering services, this transaction supports the first B24 biofuel supply in Shenzhen and Yang Ming’s inaugural B24 biofuel bunkering supply in China.

Teck Lim Chia, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, expressed his determination to bring positive impacts to the shipping industry, stating: “we are pleased to be part of Yang Ming’s first B24 biofuel bunkering supply in China. This service aligns with our initial initiative of introducing B24 biofuel bunkering in Hong Kong and exporting B24 biofuel to China. As a stakeholder in the shipping industry, we remain committed to promoting biofuel to reduce GHG emissions.”
