Editor, Marine Fuels (Asia) Argus Media

Mahua Mitra leads Argus Media’s Asia-Pacific marine fuels coverage and has more than 20 years of experience across energy and commodity markets in Asia. She has built and led editorial teams across sectors including petrochemicals, bitumen and marine fuels, with a focus on benchmark development, market analysis and regional coverage.

Based in Singapore, she currently focuses on marine fuels and the maritime energy transition, covering price discovery and market development across conventional and alternative fuels, including biofuels, LNG, methanol and ammonia. She engages closely with stakeholders across the maritime value chain, including shipowners, fuel suppliers and producers, traders, ports and policymakers.

Mahua brings a market-led perspective to maritime decarbonisation, with a particular interest in how price signals, demand development and commercial structures can support the scaling of lower-carbon and zero-emission marine fuels.

She recently completed an Executive MSc in Sustainability at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), with a focus on maritime decarbonisation and alternative-fuel pathways.
