REURASIA Management Corporation is opening the Philippine market to ADERCO fuel preservation technology after presenting at MARINA’s PhilMarine 2026 technical forum. The solution is positioned as a practical way for ship operators to reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and CII pressure without changing fuel suppliers or making immediate capital-heavy vessel investments.

MANILA, Philippines, June 30, 2026 – REURASIA Management Corporation is introducing ADERCO fuel preservation technology to the Philippine shipping market, positioning it as a practical step for shipowners seeking to reduce fuel consumption, cut CO2 emissions and improve Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) performance without changing fuel suppliers or making immediate capital-heavy vessel investments.

The Makati-based company presented the solution during the first day of PhilMarine 2026 at the SMX Convention Center Manila, where it was invited as a guest speaker for the Maritime Industry Authority’s technical conference. The event gathered maritime professionals, policymakers, shipbuilders and industry stakeholders around the themes of innovation, sustainability and resilience in the maritime sector.

REURASIA said the opportunity for Philippine shipping is clear: many operators need near-term ways to improve energy efficiency while managing fuel costs, vessel age and compliance pressure. Instead of replacing current fuels or competing with established petroleum suppliers, ADERCO’s technology is applied as a preservation and conditioning treatment for fuel already used by vessels.

ADERCO’s presentation described the technology as 100-percent vegetal organic, derived from tall oil, and based on physical surfactant action. The product is applied at a dosage ratio of one liter per 55 metric tons of fuel, has a high flash point of at least 140 degrees Celsius, and is described as compatible with gasoil, diesel, gasoline, kerosene, biofuel and heavy fuel oil.

REURASIA emphasized that the approach is complementary to existing bunkering arrangements with fuel suppliers such as Shell, Petron and other petroleum companies. The purpose is not to replace the fuel, but to preserve and condition it so it can burn more efficiently and reduce waste from poor fuel stability, sludge formation and incomplete combustion.

According to ADERCO’s Manila presentation, active customers treat more than 2,000 ships annually and more than 40 billion liters of fuel per year. The company cited verified fuel savings of 3 percent to 5 percent across vessel projects.

One refrigerated vessel project presented in Manila showed average fuel savings of 4.84 percent, equivalent to 1.62 metric tons of fuel saved per day. Over a 207-day trial period, the project showed 335 metric tons of fuel saved, about 1,044 metric tons of CO2 avoided, and fuel savings of about $200,000, based on presentation figures.

Other vessel results cited in the deck included a fleet of six bulk carriers with average fuel savings of 3.25 percent, an LPG carrier with 3.58 percent savings, a container ship with reported fuel savings of 4.13 percent, and another container vessel result of 2.19 percent. The presentation also showed additional vessel outcomes of 2 percent and 3 percent fuel savings.

The CII angle is especially relevant for vessels covered by International Maritime Organization rules. CII applies to ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above and measures how efficiently a ship transports goods or passengers in terms of carbon dioxide emitted per cargo-carrying capacity and nautical mile. The ADERCO presentation noted that fuel additives are recognized as one measure for improving ship efficiency under Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan discussions and that a 3-percent efficiency improvement can be decisive in CII calculations.

REURASIA said this makes fuel preservation an efficient first step for shipowners that want measurable progress while evaluating longer-term options such as vessel upgrades, alternative fuels and retrofit investments. The company also linked the technology to the country’s broader direction on green shipping, emissions reduction and transport-sector decarbonization, including goals pursued by MARINA, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Climate Change Commission.

The presentation also cited Gold Standard methodology for demonstrating and quantifying energy-efficiency measures in shipping. ADERCO said fuel savings had been verified by ABS and RINA according to the Gold Standard methodology. For the bulk carrier project, a verification report cited in the presentation referred to 1,298.91 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emission reduction due to 3.25-percent lower fuel use, with findings discussed during a remote audit.

Industry adoption in the Philippines will still depend on vessel-specific trials, engine and class requirements, fuel management practices and documented savings over time. However, REURASIA said ADERCO gives local operators another option to assess as they work to reduce CO2 emissions, improve CII performance and manage fuel expenses without disrupting current fuel supply arrangements.
