Marine fuels supplier Monjasa on Monday (14 February) said it has started a series of biofuel supplies to Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings in Cartagena, Colombia.
This first supply was delivered on 21 January to cruise ship Norwegian Jade. A B20 product, consisting of 20% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) and 80% High Sulphur Fuel Oil (HSFO), was used in the bunkering operation.
“NCLH is contributing to decarbonisation initiatives by bunkering biofuel blends through strategic partnerships,” says Lory Urdaneta, NCLH Director Fuel Strategy & Sourcing.
“By integrating biofuels, NCLH is not only reducing their carbon footprint but also setting a benchmark for the cruise industry in environmental stewardship.”
“We established our Colombian 2nd generation biofuels supply chain in 2023 in close collaboration with our local partners,” said Camilo Angulo Ferrand, Trading Director Americas.
“By increasing our capacity and introducing more diverse fuel grades, we are committed to meeting our customers’ demand for decarbonisation.”
As an ISCC-certified partner, Monjasa allows all involved parties to trace feedstock used to produce biofuels from the point of origin to the end consumer.
Monjasa also supplies the vessel, Norwegian Gem, as part of supporting NCLH’s efforts to decarbonise their operations.
