On January 11th, US President Trump posted a statement saying that for years, Cuba has relied on Venezuelas vast oil and financial resources to function. In return, Cuba provided "security services" to Venezuelas two previous dictators—but all of that is coming to an end! Last weeks US-led attacks have killed most of the "Cubans," and Venezuela no longer needs the protection of these thugs and blackmailers who have held it hostage for years. Now Venezuela has the worlds most powerful military force—the United States—to protect them, and we will fulfill our duty to safeguard them. There will be no more oil and money flowing to Cuba—zero flow! I strongly urge (Cuba) to reach an agreement quickly, lest it be too late.US President Trump: For years, Cuba has relied on large amounts of oil and money from Venezuela to function.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) and TotalEnergies Marine Fuels have successfully refueled a ship in Singapore using biofuels for the first time, the shipping company said Wednesday.


The ship, a car and truck carrier named Heroic Ace, was refueled with biofuel supplied by TotalEnergies through a ship-to-ship transfer on June 11, according to a statement from MOL.


Very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and second-generation, waste-based, ISCC-certified used cooking oil methyl ester constituted the biofuel blend used in the research, according to MOL (UCOME). ISCC is a certification program for renewables and sustainable bio-based feedstocks.


The company predicts that the use of biofuel will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 17 percent compared to conventional fuel oil.


Koichi Hirata, general manager of MOL's Car Carrier Division, said that the division has been experimenting with the usage of biofuel for more than a year during European short-haul navigation. According to Hirata, MOL is boosting its use of biofuels on longer trips.


Biofuel was used for the trip to Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates.


As maritime decarbonisation gathers speed and bunkering demand for alternative fuels grows, biofuel bunkering trials have increased in the shipping industry in 2018.
